why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
The odometer is broken and needs replaced.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
If the speedometer and odometer doesn't work I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is faulty.If the speedometer doesn't work but the odometer does, I would suspect the gauge cluster is at fault.
My speedometer works and the odometer does not because there is a plastic gear in the odometer that is broken.
The odometer has failed.
odometer won't work w/o speedometer working
If both the speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is at fault. If the speedometer doesn't work and the odometer does, I would suspect the instrument cluster is at fault.
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
Does your odometer work? If the speed sensor goes faulty both speedometer and odometer stop working.
The speedometer and odometer are electrically operated. There is no mechanical connection to the drivetrain. If there is no power, they don't work.
