Re: autometer speedo

Is this problem just showing up on cold morings? My electric autometer speedo is doing the samething, not working when I first start the car even though it does the half to zero dance.

I have been aiming to hook my laptop to the computer and verify that the transmission is sending the signal to the computer.


On a side note will your speedo lock up and not show any speed if the car is not running before the needle drops back to zero?

Re: autometer speedo

no it did it all summer long,i just spoke with autometer and they said if the needle moves every time you start it probably isnt the ground when i told them i bought the right sender they asked how i wired it up so i guess i will have to do some tracing of the wires and see if a wire is lose or something maybe my sender isnt in tightened all the way.
