Most likely an intermittent signal from the VSS.

To find out monitor the speedometer signal with an audio amplifier to make sure it’s getting a steady signal.

Connect the amp’s input to the
gray wire pin 8 going to the dash at the dash connector on the right as you would a CD player.

Ground to ground, the signal wire to the inner wire of the audio amplifier wire.

The next time the speedometer fails note if the signal stopped.


Happy Racing!

Re: speedometer not working???

Check the vss wiring connection on the transmission tail shaft. It may just be a loose connection or one of the wires at the connection may be open just enough to intermittenly send signal. Have had both occur.

Good luck
