locating speed detecting pinout ,as to fit a speed alert to a 2004sp23 auto mazda3
if it's the speedometer cable you just unhook the cable from in back of the speedometer head in the dash by unscrewing it and taking it off and on the transmission it also unscrews and then just pull the complete cable out and replace with a new cable.
speedometer not working can you help
If you are in the United States you cannot change the speedometer on the Mazda 3 from miles to kilometers. The only option available is miles.
Here is how the Chilton Manual says to do it......1.Raise and safely support the vehicle.2.Disengage the cable from the transmission.->Disconnect the cable by pulling it out of the speed sensor. Do not attempt to remove the spring retainer clip with the sensor. 3.Disconnect the cable from its retaining clips4.Push the cable through the grommet in the floor and pull it into the passenger compartment.5.Disconnect the cable from the speedometer, cluster removal may be necessary.6.Install the speedometer in position and route it through the floor.7.Connect it at the speedometer and at the transmission.Hope this helps.
1. Disconnect the cable from the back of the Speedometer. 2. Disconnect it from the Transmission it should be on the driver's side about half way back. 3. Now follow the cable up till you locate where it comes thru the firewall and pull it out. 4. Push the replacement cable thru where the old one came out. 5. Remove the old cable the connect both ends of the new cable and you are done.
1) Unscrew the speedometer assembly from the top of the tank and undo the two electrical connections as well as the existing speedometer cable. 2) Unhook the gas line from the top of the tank. 3) Remove the two bolts holding the tank to the frame, making sure to safely tuck the choke cable out of harms way. 4) Remove the fuel line from the petcock, making sure the line is set to the off position. 5) Remove the gas tank and set it aside. 6) Remove the left frame beauty cover to expose the front of the frame. 7) Unscrew the speedometer cable from speedo gear at wheel hub. 8) Carefully pull the speedometer out of the frame from the bottom. 9) Replace the new speedometer cable, routing from the wheel hub up into the frame. 10) Replace all parts in reverse order. There is not much room to route the speedometer cable, especially when you get to the neck of the frame. the gas tank and beauty cover must be removed if you hope to get the cable through.
To change the speedometer from kilometers to miles in a Mazda 3, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Then, locate the "Menu" button on the dashboard or steering wheel and press it until you find "Settings." Navigate to the "Units" option and select "Miles" instead of "Kilometers." Confirm the change, and the speedometer will now display miles per hour.
1) Locate the speedometer cable attachment to the transaxle (just behind the intake manifold on the drivers side USA models) 2) Disconnect the electrical connector form the speed sensor 3) Remove the screw and retaining clip from the speedometer cable (completely move them out of the way so they do not fall into the transmission) 4) Remove the speedometer cable 5) Fluid should be between the top and bottom of the speedometer cable gear 6) Fill as needed 7) Check o ring on the speedometer gear housing replace it if it is damaged 8) Re-install the speedometer cable assembly, retainer, bolt, and electrical connector Remember the Escort uses automatic transmission fluid in the manual transmission for the 1991 - 2000 models' If you want to change the fluid Drain the fluid (drain plug on the bottom of the transmission) Re-install the drain plug. Remove the speedometer as stated above Add 2.9 quarts of Mercon ATF to the transmission Re-install Speedometer cable
You have to remove the speedometer cable (follow it from the firewall, all the way down to the transmission) Remove the cable, then wiggle the speedometer gear out... add fluid there. Here's a link I found when I was looking into the same thing: http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=70176&hilit=speedometer+cable
A speedometer not working on a 2005 Mazda 3 can be caused by several issues, including a faulty vehicle speed sensor (VSS), damaged wiring, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. The VSS, which sends speed information to the speedometer, may be defective or disconnected. Additionally, if the vehicle has issues with the wiring harness or connectors, it can disrupt the signal needed for the speedometer to function. Lastly, problems within the instrument cluster itself may also prevent the speedometer from displaying the correct speed.
To replace the EGR sensor in a Mazda MX-3, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable for safety. Remove the EGR valve by unbolting it from the intake manifold, and then disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor. Replace the old sensor with the new one, reconnect the electrical connector, and reattach the EGR valve. Finally, reconnect the battery and start the engine to ensure proper function.
I'm not by any means an expert but on my 87 4X4 5 speed the cable runs from the speedometer down the top right of the transmission into the back of the transfer case under neath the truck. It will be a thick (about 3/8"), stiff, black wire which is actually the cable housing.
