The speedometer on a Polaris vehicle operates using a speed sensor, typically located on the transmission or wheel assembly. This sensor measures the rotational speed of the wheels, converting it into an electrical signal that is sent to the vehicle's onboard computer. The computer processes this information and displays the speed on the speedometer gauge. Some Polaris models may also use GPS technology for speed measurement, providing accurate readings regardless of terrain.
try checking the connection between the speedometer and the engine or wheels
To change the speedometer cable on a Polaris XLT 650 snowmobile, first, remove the hood and locate the speedometer drive at the front of the engine. Disconnect the old cable by unscrewing it from the speedometer and the drive unit. Install the new cable by connecting it to the drive unit and the speedometer, ensuring it is routed properly without kinks. Finally, reassemble the hood and test the speedometer for proper function.
45mph (speedometer in my friends truck following)
Cruise will NOT work if the speedometer has a problem
why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
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.
There are several things that can cause your 2003 Mitsubishi Gallant speedometer not to work. The most common cause is a malfunctioning speedometer cable.
Why doesnt your speedometer work on a 02 Mits Galant
Your speedometer might not be connected if it does not work. It might also have blown a fuse if it is an electronic speedometer or it could have a wire that is loose.
The speedometer sensor is probably bad.
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
odometer won't work w/o speedometer working
