speedometer will not work

[NotQuik]

I have checked the connection in the back of the cluster, checked fuses, and replaced the vss and still nothing...but everything else works fine on the cluster except for the speedometer/tripometer. Idea's anybody?

Not sure what the VSS is, but did you check to see if the teeth are still good on the speedo gear in the tranny?

Same problem here, Im almost positive that my cluster is bad.

 

[NotQuik]

Yeah, VSS = Vehicle Speed Sensor and the teeth are fine as well on the gear....I don't think its the cluster because everything else works fine and the way it should

your speedo and tach are its own seperate unit, so the rest of your cluster may work and this may not.

get a donor part to test it.

For your Odometer and trip meter, did you check the small plastic gears for missing teeth?

 

[NotQuik]

I didn't check the other gears, but I recently replaced the odometer gear and the worm gear was fine, but i'll check that out this weekend.

How do you get the printed circuit off the back of the cluster? I need to change my odo gear.

 

[gmkillr]

I dont think the gears being bad will make the speedo not work. My bet is that the circuit board is bad, its the same exact problem im having.

OK...IM HERE!!!

And you are correct.. The speedo WILL work if the gear is bad..the odo wont. If both are bad it is either the VSS or Circuit panel on that one side.(THAT"S WHAT MINE WAS).... See if you can borrow a cluster from someone and swap to see. I borrowed a V6 cluster to see...The scaling is off but it will at least work enough to test it.

I just bought a cluster on Ebay for $80. That Circuit panel alone is about $159 new.

Keep us updated.

I wonder if a cluster out of an 03 gt will work?
I know it wont be acurate or anything but I just wanna know if it will plug in an show some kind of mph & rack up miles??
My buddy at work has the 03 gt, and he's the only guy I know locally w/ a mustang.

I did some research and found out that an 03 gt cluster wont even plug into our cars so forget that one. Now I got to find somebody local w/ a 94-95 v-6, gt, or a cobra.

Thanks RC, im gonna watch the auction and if dosent go too expensive ill bid on it.
I found a repair shop in Florida called dna speedometers that say they will repair it for $100, but Im not 100% positive that mine is bad, im about 95%, so I wanted to find somebody local to let me try theirs for a few minutes just to see if it works before I ship mine out to be fixed. Because knowing my luck ill ship mine out, pay $10 shipping or so, pay the $100 to get it fixed and another $10 to ship it back and then ill plug it in and it still wont work.
I know im getting signal from the vss to the cluster but I dont know if im getting signal to the vss from wherever it comes from, know what im saying?
Like I said though im about 95% sure it is the circuit board in the cluster.
Thanks
