Yes, or it's the plastic speedo gear that enters the transmission. An easy way to narrow it down between the speedo cable or the transmission gear is to disconnect the speedo cable from the transaxle (garden hose style), and attach the metal "key" end to your drill. Then spin the drill. If the speedometer reads like you were driving, then your cable is ok and it's your the gear in the transaxle. If the speedometer doesn't read anything, then your cable is broken and it's time for a new one.
If the speedo stops also, it is the speed sensor. If just the odometer, take it to a speedo shop.
The logical problem - would be a broken speedo cable. The speedo & odometer are both run from the same cable.
The speedo or the speedo cable might be broken and, or be dissconncted.
Do you mean the speedo, or the fuel guage?
Have you checked your fuses? My father had a 88 Chevy and the speedo fuse would fall out of the holder.
If it is cable it could be the wheel hub striped, cable broken or the speedo head stripped. If it is electronic it could be censer crapped out or dirty pick up or spun gear. Probably more info. would help. Hope this helps.
If it's a cable driven speedo setup, the speed sensor head in the transmission, the gauge in the dash, or the cable connecting the two could be broken/breaking. If it's an electrical speedo, then maybe it's just a loose wire connection somewhere.
you need new clocks or (map sensor) or speed sensor together :-( had this prob my self
There is no speedo cable on a 96, GM quit using them in 1987. You have a speed sensor, which is located on the top rear of the transmission. It will have a couple wires coming off it in a plug, that run thru the computer, then to the speedo. If your speedo has quit working, has it also set a check engine light? If so, I would recomend replacing the speedo sensor.
Most likely because your speedometer cable is broken. If I find the guide for removing the instrument cluster, I'll post it here.
i dont know if the fiesta mk6 speedo is electric or mechanical, but if were mechanical, it would either be a bad speedo cable, a bad speedo, or a bad gearbox. if it were electrical, i would think that again it could be the speedo, or it could be the wiring, the sensor, or a computer if there is one
I think that's supposed to be an S It would mean that the speed sensor isn't working or there is another problem with the speedo-ODO.
