ok ive known about the re flowing the solder'd points on the circuit board but what if youve done that and 2-3 weeks later your speedometer is acting up again...is it the VSS(Vehicle Speed Sensor)??

 

Does your odometer still work? If not, then it's probably your VSS. If it does, try resoldering again and adding a bit of solder. If that doesn't work, you may just need a new one.

 

yeah odometer and trip-o-meter still works its just the speedometer that drops every now an then

 

Then you can try the soldering again and making sure the connections on the back are secure or get you a new one.

 

i think its just the connections them selves...seeing how if i push on the bottom of the cluster in the middle the speedo comes back on

 

The pins aren't making a good connection then.

 

what i figured so i just punched it in there pretty good and tightened really tight heh hopefully that works

 

yeah that didnt work its still acting up so im thinking for an easy fix ima just get an a pillar gauge bezel and then get an aftermarket speedo

 

wow when mine acted up the speedo quit, odometer and trip quit, and the tach would quit randomly, the speedo would jump around over bumps, charge light and ABS light would flicker on bumps,and sometimes i'd see the low fuel light flicker on & of with the charge light - i resoldered the connections and it works like new again

 

I just bent them with a flathead screwdriver and havent had any problems since.
