There is two wires on the rear drive shaft and they are probably broken. Have them soldered and it will work fine.
If your speedometer isn't working in your 1992 Volvo 740, the issue could be due to a faulty speed sensor, a broken cable, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. Start by checking the speed sensor located on the transmission; if it’s damaged or disconnected, that could be the problem. If the sensor seems fine, inspect the speedometer cable for any breaks or wear. If those components are in good condition, the issue might lie within the instrument cluster itself, which may require professional repair or replacement.
I took my 02 liberty 6 cyl. to have it diagnosed. Stated that the speed output sensor was bad. I bought a new one and replaced it. (There are two sensors on this transmission - input and output) Speedometer still not working! I swapped sensors, since it is the same sensor for input or output, but still no speedometer working. There are two more sensors in the differential. Those did not appear on the diagnostic tool but i might consider replacing. If anyone has ran into this problem yet, please spread the wealth. Thanks.
Our odometer/tripmeter also just stopped working at 220,000 miles. This is an integral part of the speedometer assembly, and cannot be repaired. The entire speedometer must be replaced.
If all the gauges in the clustor are working and only the speedometer is not, I suspect the Vehicle Speed Sensor which is located in the transaxle. Easy to replace and only about $15. http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Speed_Sensor/CADILLAC/SEVILLE/1999
This happend on one of my cares. It was just a cable that needed to be changed under the hood. I am sure anyone at napa or autozone can help you out.
This link should answer your question - however mostly relates to complete non function of the cluster. http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/Maintenance/Electrical/Capacitors.htm hope i was off some service.
Same problem. My speedometer sometimes works, sometimes it stops for days and than pops back. It can even start and stop several times on a small trip. there is also a speed sensor located in the rear of glove box witch is not difficult to replace and this will cure the problem this sensor can be got at a local scrap yard for very little money
it may be your instrument cluster according to a mechanic i talked to.if it is let me know im having the same problem
There is no recall on the speedometer, though it a very common problem.
- I have a 2002 Caravan with the similar symptoms - speedometer stopped working but tripometer and odometer still work. The speedometer needle is wrapped all the way around past the top speed and resting on the bottom of the needle resting peg. I saw a posting about reseting the dashboard by removing the IOD fuse and replacing it but that did not help. I also tried pressing the trip button in and turning the ignition on as described in another post with no luck. Has anyone solved this or do I have a faulty speedometer requiring replacement? thanks Steve
I had the same problem...the alternator went bad. Both the alternator and battery had to be replaced.
If the tachometer in your 1998 Kia Sportage has stopped working, it could be due to a faulty connection, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning instrument cluster. First, check the fuses related to the dashboard instruments. If the fuses are fine, inspect the wiring and connections to the tachometer. If everything looks good, the issue may lie within the instrument cluster itself, and you might need to have it repaired or replaced.
