99screaminregal Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Ok, was on my way to work and noticed that my speedo needle was sitting at 45 when I knew I was going faster. Hit the gas and it shot to where it needed after a second. What's up? Speed sensor maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 considering the age of the car, it could be the guage cluster itself... a sensor like that shouldn't "stall" on a number. the wiring could also be bad, but i would put my non-existant money on the cluster first.

rockfangd Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 cluster is sticking. sometimes a slightly bent needle can do it but usually the stepper motor starts to fail and stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
