I had speedo problems in my '90 prelude. It was the speedo sensor. It worked sometimes, but, when it kicks out, you feel it because the computer adjusts air / fuel etc based on the speed you are going, and it no longer has this information.
well that's not to hard to answer. my truck did the same thing i replace the speedometer cable and sensor in the transmission and i never had that problem since. try that first and see what happens if that wont work then replace the speedometer panel in the dashboard.
If the speed sensor is broken several things can happen. The speedometer will not work and the transmission may not shift correctly.
Speedometer either doesnt work, is erratic or works when it wants to. This may also cause erratic shifting in the transmission or transmission to stay in 2nd gear when in drive.
The transmission is likely to start slipping.
If you are driving when this happens, try to locate the loose connection around the rear of head lamp. If it happens when you arn't in the vehicle when it blinks. Run don't walk to the nearest dealer for a trade in.
when that happens you usually just have to replace the instrument cluster when that happens you usually just have to replace the instrument cluster when that happens you usually just have to replace the instrument cluster
ABS will no longer work (properly).Depending on the car, it might either keep working otherwise, or go into the car equivalent of "safe mode", only allowing low speed driving to get it out of traffic and into service.Could also have a inoperative speedometer, a check engine light, and a not shifting transmission.
Okay well I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and I have heard that when a Taurus reaches about 120,000 miles the tranny is bound to fail. Mine revs up real high and feels like I'm driving in neutral and has a smell. When it happens my speedometer stops working, which is powered by the tranny. Hope that helps you.
Your speedometer, odometer, and cruise control quits working; That's all. It happened to me when I replaced the transmission on my Altima and the two wires came out of the connector.
There are several changes that happen when switching from 17 to 26 inch wheels. The biggest change that happens is that the speedometer does not accurately track the speed of the vehicle. Therefore you will need to have the speedometer readjusted.
Assuming this happens while you are moving you probably need to replace the speedometer cable.
The engine will die when you stop, just like if you were driving a manual transmission and didn't push in the clutch when you stopped.
