In a 2002 Pontiac Aztek, the fuse that controls the gas gauge and speedometer is typically the "Instrument Panel" fuse. This fuse is located in the fuse box, which is usually found under the dashboard on the driver's side. If either the gas gauge or speedometer is not functioning properly, checking this fuse is a good first step in troubleshooting the issue. Always refer to the owner’s manual for the exact fuse layout and specifications.
it's located in the fuel tank on the fuel pump
When my 1994 Pontiac Transport is in park and idling the the speedometer runs erratically? Why?
There is not a cable for the speedometer. The information is sent to the gauge cluster from the PCM. The PCM controls almost all aspects of the vehicle operation. All of the information on the gauge cluster comes from the PCM.
Did you find the problem? I have the same issue.
Yes, there is a fuse for this. It should be labeled INST.
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.
Check your vehicle speed sensor. It controls your RPM's and your Speedometer. Hope this helps.
The gauge is part of the instument cluster ( the part with the speedometer ).The gauge is part of the instument cluster ( the part with the speedometer ).
The fuse for the temperature gauge on a 2001 Pontiac Aztek is located in the under-hood fuse box. You can find the fuse box near the battery. Check the diagram on the fuse box cover for the specific fuse related to the instrument panel or temperature gauge, as the labeling may vary. If the gauge is not functioning, inspect that fuse for any signs of damage or failure.
The Aztek has been known to have screwy gas gauges. Mine "floats" from E to F and sometimes shows the actual level. I've heard it's a bad sending unit in the tank causing the problem. If your gauge just lies there, it's probably that the sending unit is done.
thermostat may be sticking and that cause the gauge to show hot, have it checked soon, you could be headed for bigger problems
why would a speedometer stop working on a Mazda
