ipwnyou 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 Hey guys, my speedo isnt working along with my tacho. Any ideas? I tried a completely different cluster and has the same issues. I'm opening it up now just to check the SI but it sounds like its at the other end - where does the car get its speed readings from? FYI This happened after a nasty impact on my front right. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cainchapman 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) I'd go for the wheel speed/ABS sensor on your front tyre then. $700 each (on the 540 anyway) However, that wouldn't effect your Tacho. Edited August 17, 2006 by cainchapman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surge 1 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 The problem with dads car was loose connections at the back of the cluster, or poor earth - clean up the earth, behind the glovebox. A large portion of the interior loom grounds here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ipwnyou 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 Well after opening the cluster I found the issue with the tacho - the smaller top cog in the cluster had broken off...and all the cogs in there were like wax...i could squash them with my fingers just by touching them. So I have swapped that out with another cluster, and I still dont have speed. I also cannot find the earth point behind the cluster...the loom just runs into oblivion. Bleh!
