How do you fix the speedometer on a 1993 Isuzu Rodeo?
I have the same problem with my 1995 Rodeo. I lost the
speedometer and had a bit of a learning curve. I replace the
speedometer gear and it work well for a few days and went out
again. It cost about 45 dollars, (For the Gear) I was kicked out of
a Isuzu dealer when I went back and talked to a mechanic about the
problem. Luckily I managed to get the answer before I was asked to
leave.
He mentioned that the gear housing also need to be replace at
the same time as the new gear. The reason being that it creates
it's own type of wear in the housing. Being that the housing was
metal I was bracing for the worst. I was shocked when the metal
housing was 22 bucks. The other shocker was that I changed it out
just out side the dealership. Its very easy to do, one bolt and it
drops right down. I placed the new gear in and then the metal
housing and was back on the road in less than 10 min.
So the answer to the question is you need to replace the housing
and gear at the same time! I was shocked that it worked fine after
I replaced the metal housing that holds the gear in place. I hope
this works well for you, it worked fine for me.
PS. I tried a junk yard part first and had problems, buy new its
cheaper. Best of luck Paul.
