Speedo stopped working!

[newsh]

Took the coupe out tonight, first thing I notice as I shift into second, no speedo. Its not stuck on the face as it has plasmas. the rest of the cluster seems to be working ok so I guess its not a fuse.

speed sender on the gearbox?

Does the odometer still work?

[newsh]

Mmm, odometer, need to check that

[4WheelDrifter]

If the odometer still works, then the transmission speed sensor and wiring is ok.

Does smacking the dash make it work temporarily? I have had some with a dying circuit board, dry or cracking solder possibly?

speed sender on the gearbox?

if odometer doesn't working as well then wiring or connector on transmission distance sensor (speed sensor is the same ABS sensor ) Never hear that somebody had failed sensor.

[newsh]

Tried smacking the dash, no go. Will check the odo.

I get this when its hot out if its cooler/cold out no issues. Been advised to check sensor mounted on gear box.

Odometer is still working so the problem must be in the cluster, I'll try the spare one I have in the garage

Ours does this a couple of times a year, all I do is press the small (I believe) fuel gauge calibration button. It must just exert pressure on a PCB dry joint or something, because it works fine again for months.

Had this one intermittently before as well, when the odometer was also not working.

Giving the connectors into the instrument cluster a good clean and making sure they were all clicked in correctly seemed to fix the problem, at least i've not had it happen since.

I've had this several times, Both times fixed by stripping clocks, and resoldering connector plug from loom to clocks, Been brokes solder joint both times as I couls see it. A good time to replace the bulbs while you are at it

funny enouth my packed up lastvery strange that.it must be something to do with the heatwave we're having.it getting checked as we speak,hopefully it can be solted.can't afford to have it not working with all this camera's about.
