If the speedometer on your 1997 Nissan 200SX is not working, it could be due to a faulty speed sensor, a broken speedometer cable, or an issue with the instrument cluster itself. First, check the speed sensor located on the transmission for any damage or disconnection. If the sensor appears fine, inspect the speedometer cable for any breaks or kinks. If everything looks good, the problem might lie within the instrument cluster, which may require repair or replacement.
its old
wish i knew have the same prob on my 93 377 peterbilt
It is possible that the speedometer on a 1997 Plymouth will only work intermittently because the gear is worn out. Sometimes dirt can get up into the area where the speedometer cable is housed and cause excessive wear to the gear.
Check for a blown fuse.
firstly you find the part off the speedo cable that's broken and then you replace it with a new part then you speedometer will work
how do you remove the ignition barrell on a Renault megane 1997
Check VSS or wiring to it could cause fault .does speedometer work?
you replaced speedo, so try replacing speed sensor
The speedometer in a 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva may not work due to a faulty vehicle speed sensor (VSS), which sends speed information to the speedometer. Additionally, issues with the wiring or connectors between the VSS and the speedometer can cause it to malfunction. A blown fuse or a problem with the instrument cluster itself could also be responsible. Diagnosing the issue typically requires checking these components for faults.
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.
The speedometer needs to work in a vehicle for safety and informative reasons. The causes of it intermittently working could be the lack of electricity, or a problem with the sensor.Ê
The speedometer and odometer are electrically operated. There is no mechanical connection to the drivetrain. If there is no power, they don't work.
