Speedo not workin

(1/2) > >>

rangyholic:
Hi all, my speedo hasn't worked since i got the rangy, its an 1988 auto v8.
Is there something which commonly fails, or do i just have to work through the system to find the culprit............
thanks for any help you can offer.....jamie

muddyman:
I had this with a 87 RRC turned out to be the "L" drive on the back of the speedo, hope this helps

clbarclay:
Had the L drive suffer on me too, as it failed (took some time to finally stop) it produced a clicking sound as the gears skiped. We just pushed it back together and recrimped the end cap back in which had come lose.

Another time a speedo failed the needle wounldn't drop below 50 so most of the time it never moved, this was a solved by fitting a new in dash speedo unit.


Check the cheap things first though before spending too much money in case its just something like the speedo cable has broken.

Mine isn't working as well.

My rev guage is also not working when I start (3.9 efi 1991) it jumps up and thats it.

I assume like a lot of rev counters on yours its run off the alternator, so check the conections to the alternator for a start as it could just be a dodgy connection.
