Why is the speedometer and odometer not working?

However, despite gluing and taping it back together and pushing it back into the speedometer, it still didn’t work. As it was both the speedometer and odometer that had stopped working, I realised it must have been something to do with the cable feeding them both.

Can a GPS sensor work with a speedometer?

The antenna is waterproof and you can paint it. The GPS Sensor Module will not work with “any” speedometer. If not an AutoMeter speedometer, it must be electronically driven and capable of reading a 12v square wave signal. It will not drive a mechanical speedometer. Do not wire it with an existing speed sender/sensor of any type or sort.

What should the pulse count be on the speedometer?

Go into speedometer calibration mode as normal (full scale). Push and release the button so it drops to ½ scale (as normal). Drive until the pulse count gets to 32000 (which is 16000 ppm), and stop driving. This does not need to be precise, just close to 32000 is good. Push the trip button to end calibration.

How can I get my VW speedometer to work?

First, pull at the casing at the front and sides and eventually pull off the back. You will have to pull quite hard but it will eventually unclip. Then you will need to remove the two screws that hold the dials to the dashboard. Then you will be able to pull them towards you so you can see the back of the speedometer.

Why does the digital display for my speedometer not work?

Why doesn’t the digital… The digital speedometer just stopped showing. All other information is displayed when you touch the menu button…like oil life, trip 1, trip 2, etc. Just the digital speed doesn’t show. The odometer and direction are still displayed but the rest of the screen is blank.

How is the speedometer programmed to the sender?

The speedometer can be programmed to the proper sender input by driving a mile or by entering the pulse count manually. The drive-a mile technique is the preferred method as this will give the most accurate result provided the mile is indeed a mile. This method will also be completed in the time it takes to drive a mile, about a minute or two!

Is the electonic speedometer still in use today?

While these are still in use today in the aftermarket, the trend has been going electonic for quite some time. The benefit of electonic speedometers is they can be custom tailored to the individual vehicle by setting DIP-switches, programming via the LCD or hard programmed at the factory.

What to do if your Chrysler speedometer stops working?

Knowing how fast you’re going is an important part of safe, legal driving. If you own a Chrysler and your speedometer has stopped working, there is hope. Watch this video for the procedure you need to reset the speedometer on a newish Chrysler.

What to do if the speedometer needle does not move?

If the speedometer needle does not move, remove the tube from the speedometer. With the compressor, take out any dirt or debris that may be stuck onto the tube. When you are done cleaning the tube, attach the tube back to the speedometer. Check to see if the speedometer needle will move again. To do this, just blow air on the other end of the tube.

What does it mean when your speedometer is leaking?

As noted, there should not be water up in the tubes. The speedo (or MMDC black box if your boat has one) should work on air pressure. The air pressure in the tube keeps the water from coming up. So, if water is getting up, that means there’s some sort of leak up under the dash that is letting water push the air out that end.

What to do if your speedometer has a hole in it?

Check if the pitot tube has any holes or is damaged. If it is, replace it with a new one. If you do not find any holes or cuts on the tube or the pitot tube, you then need to check the speedometer itself. Disconnect the tube on the pitot tube or outdoor motor. Blow air into the tube for about 10 seconds.

How can I tell if my boat has a speedometer?

You can easily recognize the speedometer’s tube because it is thicker than most wiring in the boat, and it is often colored black. Once you have located the tube of the speedometer, check to see if there are any holes on the tube that might cause the speedometer to malfunction.
