Hey there, I’m new to the forum so I’m not sure if this has been covered anywhere or if I’m posting in the right place, but I’m having a problem with my speedometer right now. The car is a 1991 A/T KA24DE and the speedometer either stays at zero or works intermittently. I’ve taken out the cluster and there were no visible problems with the connections and I’ve also put a new speed sensor in the car. I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing and should look into or if I should just get an entirely new cluster out of a parts car. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Check the gear on the pickup at the transmission. I had an 89 that did the same thing and it was the gear that drives the speedo cable at the tranny.

Sounds like your speedo is shot, or there’s a break in the wiring for the speed sensor…

I have both a stock USDM speedo and a jdm speedo for sale if you want. I can even install it for you if you need it, for a little extra. I can install it into your current cluster so you don’t lose your KM’s and such. Let me know.
