Speedometer only works half the time.

Maybe someone can help me out with this issue, simply put, my speedo only works half the time. its literally off and on along with the odometer. I took it on the highway the other day and holds cruise control just fine without the speedo working so i guess the tranmission VSS is fine. just wondering if anones had the same problems of it working only half the time.

Re: Speedometer only works half the time.

I just fixed mine recently, ended up being the pc board inside the gauge cluster.I picked up a used unit from ebay but it was weather beaten so I just replaced the pc board. My speedo was working but the odometer and trip odometer was on and off. Find a good working unit and just replace the gauge cluster. If you want to keep the original mileage of the car you have to change out the odometer assembly.

Like I said better off just replacing the whole gauge cluster.
