Renault megane 2007 speedometer is not working is there a sensor anywhere?

normally sensor is on drive shaft , but in some Renault models speed sensor is taken from ABS unit- if ABS itself is fine it could be due to fault in wiring.

on some models you check speedo cluster (instrument panel) by pressing knob on instrument panel for about 5 seconds and all the dials start moving. if it works then it means wiring problem. only Renault can solve this problem ( french technology)

What is the difference between an Australian compass and British compass?

The needle of a compass must be free to rotate so that it can point to magnetic north. The magnetic field of the earth not only rotates the compass needle horizontally but also pulls one end down. If it pulls the needle down it can stop it from turning freely so on many compasses the needle is balanced for use in a specific zone. There are 5 zones. Austraila and Britain are in different zones. This means the needle may not be level if used in the other's zone. Needles are balanced by making one end of the needle longer or by adding weight to one end of the needle.

What do oceanographers use?

Geological Oceanography people use satillite's to pin point and trace the exact location that they want to go to in the ocean.

How do you establish reliability?

To establish reliability as related to computer programming, you must test the program.

To establish reliability in life, you must be reliable: If you say you will do something, do it. If you say you will be somewhere, be there. Always follow through with what you say.

You forgot your PIN and your secure location for your Garmin c550?

If you forgot your PIN and secure location for your Garmin c550, you may need to reset the device to factory settings. This will erase all data, including the PIN, so make sure to back up any important information before proceeding. You can typically reset the device by pressing and holding the power button or using a specific key combination during startup. You can refer to the device's manual or contact Garmin customer support for specific instructions.

How does a GPS receiver work?

A GPS (short for "Global Positioning System") is an electronic device that measures its distance to three or more satellites to determine its precise location. There are 24 such satellites in fixed orbits around the world. All of the satellites are perfectly synchronized, and send out digital radio transmissions broadcasting the current time. Your GPS receiver receives three or more of these signals, where the distance to the satellite will delay the signal just a tiny bit. The GPS receiver uses the relative delays to determine its precise location.

GPS receivers are available from Garmin, Magellan, Tom Tom, and a number of other companies. Many newer cellphones also have a built-in GPS receiver.

Who invented the peg?

The first patented clothes peg issued in March 1832, described a bent strip of hickory held together with a wooden screw which proved to be totally impractical. Rain or even dampness would cause the screw to swell, rendering the pin inoperable. It took 21 more years for an improvement to emerge that would be deemed worthy of manufacture (if briefly): the "spring-clamp for clotheslines," invented by David M. Smith of Springfield, Vermont, in 1853 was made of two wooden "legs" hinged together by a metal spring and was the forebare of everything we have on our washing lines today. Smith's invention, has been tweaked and modified endlessly: 146 new patents were granted in the mid-nineteenth century alone and the quest for the perfect peg has continued to this day.

What are opinions on which GPS system has the best live traffic updates?

I prefer magellin, there are many out there though. Just when you go to buy one make sure you buy one that updateable this way 1 or 2 times a year you can download the most up to date roads and points of interest maps

Whats the best fish finder gps combo?

Any answer you get on here is going to be subjective in nature, but for what it's worth, I like the Lowrance format. There are a number of models depending on the size of screen you want, but I should think any dual frequency fish finder with a color chartplotter should satisfy you. The Lowrance uses the Navionics chip for its charts, but I think most charting programs are very similar. What I particularly like about the Lowrance is that it's easy to use and rarely loses a GPS signal. But again, this is just one opinion. Good luck.

Why was GPS system invented?

War, plain and simple. It was designed to allow smart bombs and cruse missiles to hit their targets accurately. It was also developed for military deployment of troops and equipment. It was also invented to give directions to lost pedestrians.

What is the role of GSM in vehicle tracking?

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology is used in vehicle tracking systems to transmit data from the tracking device in the vehicle to the monitoring center or server. It enables real-time monitoring and tracking of the vehicle's location, speed, and other important data. GSM also allows for two-way communication between the tracking system and the user, enabling features like remote immobilization or engine shut-off in case of theft.

What is Global Innovation system?

A Global Innovation System tries to build ranks for countries based on their innovations. The system is used to look at the business outcomes that resulted from innovation and the government's ability to encourage innovation from the public.

Explain GPS in simple terms?

a GPS is a Global Positioning System and simply locates where you are via satellite maps and helps you to your destination via the same maps...very helpful when you are in a new area...most are very accurate

What is a GPS Receiver?

GPS receivers is the third component of the GPS system. These range from navigation systems found on planes and in cars to hand held devices now available. A receiver uses signals received from three or more satellites to determine the position of the user.

The least expensive car?

What is the formula for computing thermal fade margin?

In an analog microwave radio system, the flat fade margin is equal to the system total Gains minus system total losses

In a digital microwave radio system, the "flat" or thermal fade margin (TFM) is calculated from the system total Gains minus system total losses.

Light coming on at random on your Volvo V70 dashboard that looks like a fan in a box of water what does it mean?

This is your coolant level sensor or the radiator warning light. It most likely means you're coolant level is low. Check the coolant exopansion tank located on the left side under the hood on the V70. You can add straight water. Don't add just any anti-freeze, light green Prestone; it can really damage the radiator. Volvos are funny that way, a qualified Volvo mechanic knows this. KJR

Who funded and developed the gps system?

originaly GPS was part of the US military satellite system and designed for battlefield positioning information in guidance systems. it was intended to create autonomous armaments that would direct themselves to their destinations automatically (as cruise missiles were intended to do) The system was released into the civilian world when it was realised how useful it could be - however it would be shutdown to civilians in the event of war. This problem has led the E.U. and particularly U.K. to develop "Magelan" a far more accurate system of positioning (to millimetres not metres of accuracy) using dozens of special satellites for civilian use only.

How does windmill help us?

the wind turns the windmill blades, which turn an electrical generator (ac or dc) which makes electricity. normally power stations turn generators with steam made by boiling water with coal or gas or wood or oil etc. - these fuels are used up when burnt and cause pollution. normal fuel is expensive, difficult to get in bulk and are running out. Wind does not create pollution (although making windmills does) and does not run out

What is the difference between a garmin 340 gps or garmin nuvi 200?

The differences is the the garmin 340 is upgraded. I wouldn't recommend either because you could get the garmin 350 for thirty dollars more and it's extremley more accurate. Most people upgrade to the 350 so you're better of getting right away check this site out it gives you more details
