You could disconnect the cable down at the transmission, drive it around, and see if the noise has quit. Some cars don't have a cable-the speedo is electronic, so then you might have a vacuum leak somewhere under the dash.
We had a speedometer problem it was the key that locked the speedometer driver gear to the transmission output shaft. The key was broke had to pull the rear housing on the transmission to get to the gear. Yea you have to pull the transmission. Ez
If the speedometer/odometer is working, chances are the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is good.
check transmission fluid level . then check differential oil level also that model ford needed additive in diff oil to stop noise was a ford recall on that
The single click, that you hear when the starter switch is operated, is the solenoid making the high tension connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor doesn't turn over, you will need to check both the battery feed to the solenoid and the feed from the solenoid to the starter motor (this is typically a short length of braided cable). I have known this cable to corrode through. If it has, the easiest remedy, is to replace the entire starter motor.
It sounds like your VSS(Vehicle Speed Sensor) has gone bad, which will turn on your check engine light.
If the Park Ave is a year that uses a speedometer cable, check that the drive gear for the cable is working. Check the cable to insure that it is not broken of stuck, then check the speedometer itself. These steps will let you know what is broken so that you can fix it.
If it is a stock model speedometer, there is no speedometer cable. there is a sensor on the transmission which transmits signals in a wire to the speedometer assembly, which is on your dashboard. If you have a problem check the speed sensor, or the wiring to it. JOEDI
possible cable Remove from transmission and check if in one piece - if not remove speedometer head and replace cable to transmission and head
A 1991 dodge dynasty speedometer bouncing could be a sticking speedometer cable, or a bad drive gear. Check the cable first, and lubricate it to see if the problem stops.
If it's an analog speedometer, first check the condition of the speedometer cable. It may need to be replaced.
do you mean your car won't display your car speed ? is that what you mean ? check the speedometer cable on your car. check the speed sensor located at the end of the speedometer cable. check the plastic gear inserted on the transmission at the end the speedometer cable. get a qualified technician who can work on your car.. it may require the instrument panel (gauges assy) be remove to unplug the other end of the cable..if cable type is used. some vehicles use wire and sensor.. if so, no need to remove gauges, just check sensor and the gears inserted to transmission.
Check the side around the tailshaft.
If the speedometer breaks, it effects the odometer. Check the speedometer cable it may be broken, even under the insulation.
Since you replaced the sensor, and the speedometer still isn't working it is possible that you will need to replace the speedometer cable. Check the cable first to be sure that it is still properly connected, and if so replace the cable to see if that solves the problem.
check if it has a speedometer cable if not the speed sensor needs to be replaced
Have your mechanic check the speedometer cable connections. They no longer use a cable. It is electronic. If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, the problem is in the dash cluster. If both the speedometer and odometer are not working, the speed sensor in the transmission may be at fault.
If a 1992 Honda Civic's speedometer is erratic, the problem could be the speedometer cable. It could also be the speedometer sensor malfunctioning. Check both components carefully.
