This is not my video, but mine does this sometimes, just under 120km/h. Also, it doesn’t move sometimes until I hit 30km/h, and then shoots up from 0 to there, and just acts funny in the low end. Otherwise, it works perfectly. Odometer/tach work perfectly.

What could cause this?

The wires coming from the speedometer are being induced voltage from a separate source or not getting any voltage (something else may be being induced by its voltage).

I’m gonna take apart some of the dash at the front. I hope its easy to get the cluster off without taking off the dashboard. I also need to clean my light switch module in the steering column.

Has anyone fixed this speedo issue before? It’s driving me nuts.

Thanks guys, I’ll get to it when I have some free time. Hopefully I can just pop out and replace the speedo without effecting the odometer, or damaging anything else.
