If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
There are several things that can cause your speedometer to stop working. The most common cause is a blown fuse. The second most common cause is a malfunctioning speedometer cable.
If both the speedometer and the odometer work on and off, I would blame the vehicle speed sensor. If only the speedometer is acting up, I would blame the cluster.
wish i knew have the same prob on my 93 377 peterbilt
Speedometers work by measuring rotations of the wheels. The more rotations, the faster your going. But they can't measure in reverse.
No, pushing it backwards will not damage the speedometer.
Remove the dashboard cover. Remove the retaining ring, from the speedometer. Remove the speedometer cable from the back of the speedometer. Reverse the process to install the new speedometer.
Remove the dash panel cover. Remove the speedometer retaining ring. Remove the cable from the back of the speedometer. Reverse the process to install the new speedometer.
Replace the fuse.
yes it can
Because it is usually a mechanical cable that is connected to a front axle or the transmission. Newer cars relay this information electronically and will show the actual speed when in reverse.
Cruise will NOT work if the speedometer has a problem
The most common reason for a speedometer to fail is a broken speedometer cable. Loosen the nuts on each end of the speedometer cable. Remove the speedometer cable retaining clips. Reverse the process to install the new speedometer cable.
On the speedometer, no. It will indicate a speed but it will not be accurate.
why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
