its a fuse
If the trouble is the speedometer itself, you can't; but it could be the sending unit and that can be replaced fairly easily. If you remove the right front wheel and move the skirt it can be seen on top of the transaxle extension. If your speedometer AND odometer have ceased to work this is the culprit but if the odometer works accurately but not the speedometer you need another instrument cluster to get a new speedometer.
If the fuel gauge, temperature gauge, odometer, and speedometer are not working on a Pontiac Sunbird, it could be due to a faulty instrument cluster, a blown fuse, or issues with the vehicle's wiring or connectors. Additionally, a malfunctioning vehicle speed sensor (VSS) can affect both the speedometer and odometer. Checking the fuses and inspecting the wiring for damage are good first steps in diagnosing the problem. If those are intact, the instrument cluster or VSS may need to be tested or replaced.
Rolling back a digital speedometer in a Pontiac Firebird is illegal and unethical, as it involves tampering with the vehicle's odometer readings. If you're experiencing issues with your speedometer, it's best to seek professional help to diagnose and repair the problem. Always ensure that any maintenance or modifications comply with legal standards and regulations.
The fuse for the speedometer on a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville is typically located in the fuse box, which is found under the dashboard on the driver's side. You can refer to the owner's manual for a detailed diagram that indicates the specific fuse for the instrument cluster or speedometer. If the speedometer is not functioning, check this fuse first for any signs of damage or blowing.
The speedometer is electronic...there is no speedometer cable.
Since the SPEEDOMETER shows how fast you're currently going, then to turn it back you would just have to put on the brakes, or drive slower. Your ODOMETER shows how many Kms or Miles you've driven and it CANNOT be turned back LEGALLY.
To fix the speedometer in a 1987 Pontiac Firebird, first check the speedometer cable for any damage or disconnection. If the cable is intact, inspect the speedometer head itself for issues. You may need to replace the speedometer cable or the speedometer unit if they are malfunctioning. Additionally, verify that the vehicle's gear ratio matches the speedometer's specifications for accurate readings.
There is no speedometer cable, it is electronic.
AnswerThe 98 Pontiac stores the odometer in the instrument panel cluster. The odometer can be reprogramed either by the dealer or there are companies that will re-program it for you (seach google, there are lots). Or you can buy the odometer programmer for about $1000 but its cheaper to just send the cluster module in. (not only is it legal to reset the odometer; its required in most states when you replace the engine. The odometer is required to reflect the mileage of the engine *NOT* the vehicle)
If the speedo works and not the odometer, take it to the speedo shop as something is wrong in the speedo itself. You can't stop the odometer without stopping the speedo.
thermostat? engine size?
Are you really asking about the speedometer, or are you asking about the cable? It's hard for me to believe that you don't know where your speedo is.
