I did search through the forum, and saw lots about the speedo and the speed sensor, but not really about repairing the speedo.
Can it be repaired?
I wondered at first if the speed sensor might be out because that's what most of the forum topics led too.
I plugged in my Actron Code reader and drove up my driveway, to code reader tells me the mph. Couldn't be the speed sensor.
I managed to pull the instrument cluster and got down to the last connector and decided I had no idea if anything could be done. All looked clean and tight, so I put it all back together to look for more info.
I'll drive enough to see if the odometer works this afternoon, but the speedo is dead. The rest of the gauges work.
The fuses are good and everything else works fine.
Anybody know if the speedo can be fixed, or is it the whole cluster?
This is a '97 XLT 2.3L 5 speed.
Thanks!
