if you really did mean your speedo went out and not your odo, you might want to check out your alternator if you keep having electrical probs. other than that, i dont know anyting about electrical shaith.

mcajka

yea the speedo and the trip and total milage dont work. everything else in the cluster works...damn new alternator...more money damn it

5-speed

hey i could be wrong, id look into it more before buying a new one. check all your grounds, maybe look around in the engine bay and listen for weird noises from your alt.

mcajka

thats a tomorrow project...but the car does make wierd noises cause of me beating on it but we wont talk about that

As long as u know

mcajka

oh i do ive heard stories...i love work when there is nothing to do....i am going to take a look at my car now to see if i can figure this shit out

mcajka

ok while i was "working" today i found a few bad grounds on the engine and chasis that could have been the problem...on the way home i was fine everything worked...also where is out speed sensor for the speedo...is it in the transmission like alot of cars...if so there could be shavings form the parts inside and oil collecting on it and its disturbing the sensor..what do you guys think
