99screaminregal Posted March 16, 2010 Report 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
RobertISaar Posted March 16, 2010 Report 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. Quote
rockfangd Posted March 17, 2010 Report 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

rockfangd Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Not usually as most are soldered directly to the board but soe have press in pins Quote
99screaminregal Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Posted March 29, 2010 Sounds like a plan for this car. Seems like I never should have got it But, I like it Quote
