94 Civic speedometer problem
the speedometer/odometer has been working intermittently and there
seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it stops working. both speedometer and odometer seem to die for periods when i'm driving and then randomly start working again. engine light is not on so i don't think it's a problem with the VSS. i removed the instrument cluster today and i don't know much about the electric stuff but all of the connections looked fine. i'm thinking it's a problem with the speedometer head but i don't really want to pay a mechanic and i would like some advice from someone who has more experience than i do. the car has approx. 143,000 miles. thanks |
