because its not :)
what can cause my speed odometer to stop working, it would work awhile, than stop, now not at all
What would make your speed odometer stop working after putting an alternator on? 2005 Chevy Malibu
If both odometer and speedometer are not working I would blame the vehicle speed sensor. If just the odometer isn't working the gauge cluster assembly needs to be replaced with a reconditioned one.
If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, I would suspect the dash cluster is at fault. If both speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the speed sensor on the transmission is at fault.
No, there is no connection between losing transmission fluid and the speed odometer not working. My mother's car lost all of it's transmission fluid but the odometer still worked.
If only the odometer is not functional, then the cluster is bad. If both odo and speedo are inop then you have a possible speed sensor issue.
Does your odometer work? If the speed sensor goes faulty both speedometer and odometer stop working.
Check the speed sensor.
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 the speedo stops also, it is the speed sensor. If just the odometer, take it to a speedo shop.
If your odometer/speedometer stopped working, then you must replace the "vehicle speed sensor" located on top of the differential if your have a manual transmission.
The odometer may not be working due to a malfunctioning speed sensor, which measures the vehicle's speed and communicates with the odometer. Other potential issues include a broken gear within the odometer mechanism or problems with the vehicle's electrical system, such as blown fuses or wiring issues. Additionally, if the vehicle has undergone recent repairs, it could be that the odometer was inadvertently disconnected or not properly calibrated. It's advisable to have a mechanic diagnose the issue for an accurate assessment.
