my mph on the gauges just stoped working today. it acted like it wanted to work then didnt...i think something got disconnected but cant find anything disconnected. plz help

What year, if its mechanical its most likely your spedo cable. A quick search can yield most answers to your problem. Good luck

Welcome to TGO. If your car is a 91, as your name suggests, your speedo is electronic. The VSS on the tail shaft of the trans is often the culprit.

well it is a 91. v6. i took it to the shop to get the fuel pump changed, it was working then and always has been. get the car back from the shop and the mph gauge doesnt work but all the other gauges work. any pics or something for reference for me to fix this?....ive tried searching the site but cant seem to find anything


thnx

The VSS screws into the tail shaft of the trans, driver's side, in the same spot that a cable-driven speedo would.

JamesC

so its a screw in or is there a connector that snaps into it? cause i do see a connector hanging down there but i cannot reach it as i have no way of getting the car into the air

A connector is involved.

I expected to see a picture of a guy trying to remove a wedgie from his speedos in this thread.

turns out it was a connector leading to the vss. thnx
