Speedometer quit working

[drewzx3]

My odometer just quit a couple of weeks ago and now my speedometer quit working today. What could be wrong with it? What all can I check out to see whats wrong with it?

He is asking if the odometer is digital or analog on the dash when you are looking at it.It is quite common for these to fail as I have found out myself. The gear is cheap that runs the odometer/ speedometer but there is a kit out there with better gears (they are molded instead of being pressed). If anyone knows where I can get one of these kits please pm me. Thanks!

My odometer is analog. So there is a gear behind the cluster that needs to be replaced for the speedometer?

either that or you have an electrical problem like a blown fuse or bad vss sensor

make sure the plug on your VSS sensor is all the way in and making a good connection.

50resto has the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) for about $20

its located on the drivers side rear of the transmission, pretty easy to get at.

also check for blown fuses

If the odometer quite working & the speedo is working, then it is the gears inside of the dash cluster. Do a search & there is a place that you can order the 2 little gears. The dash has to come apart to install them.
