In a Saturn, the speedometer and odometer often rely on different sensors to function. While the odometer tracks the distance traveled using information from the vehicle's transmission, the speedometer typically relies on a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) for real-time speed readings. If the VSS fails or has a wiring issue, the speedometer will stop working while the odometer continues to function normally. Thus, a malfunction in the speed sensor is usually the culprit when the speedometer is non-functional but the odometer still operates.
why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
My speedometer works and the odometer does not because there is a plastic gear in the odometer that is broken.
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
sounds like a broken speedometer cable.
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
odometer won't work w/o speedometer working
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
Does your odometer work? If the speed sensor goes faulty both speedometer and odometer stop working.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
The odometer is broken and needs replaced.
They both work off of the same signal. If the speedometer works but the odometer doesn't, the odometer has failed.
