Speedometer randomly stops working
I'm pretty sure there's a thread about this somewhere, but I want specifics.
I have a 92 Civic hatch, and all of a sudden my Odometer randomly stops working, and randomly turns back on when it wants to. Sometimes when i take bumps it goes off too. Any ideas? |
Re: Odometer randomly stops working
Does the speedometer stop working when the odometer does?
|
Re: Odometer randomly stops working
Defected odo/speedometer or possible bad VSS(vehicle speed sensor)
|
Re: Odometer randomly stops working
I'm not an idiot when it comes to this shit but I'm confused with the two ( odometer / speedometer )
And it was working just fine.. for a while, and it randomly stops working all of a sudden. |

Re: Odometer randomly stops working
So you're saying your speedo works correctly but the odometer is faulty?

Re: Odometer randomly stops working
Most likely your speedometer gauge is defected. This is a common problem. Find yourself another cluster and swap it.

Re: Odometer randomly stops working
Alright. i'll try that. But also, my friend just bought himself a civic too, and the dude told him that the oxygen sensor is what's causing that to happen. idk if he's talking out of his ass, or it could be possible. And any suggestions on a nice cluster?
|
Re: Odometer randomly stops working
Any cluster from a Civic 92-95 will be plug and play(including the automatic). If your Civic doesn't have the factory tachometer. This might be a good time to look for that cluster.
Sorry can't comment on the o2 sensor issue. |
Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
Title corrected.
Are you absolutely sure the odometer and tripmeter continue to work fine when the speedometer does not? And no, a bad O2 sensor would have no effect on the speedometer. |
Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
To put this in dummy terms. Your MPH gauge randomly cuts out. I have exact same issue. I'm assuming it might be the speed sensor.
|
Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
It's not a speed sensor problem if the odometer or tripmeter actually works all the time.
|
Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
Odometer works perfectly fine, and so does tripmeter. only the speedometer doesn't work.. What could it be
|
Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
Replace the speedometer or cluster.

Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
I had this problem, the circuit board went bad on the back my spedometer. I swapped one in from a used cluster, works fine didnt lose my milage or anything else. Kept the rest of my original gauges as well. I changed the VSS first being that it was 15$ and 20 minutes worth of time. Usually the culprit is a bad set of solder joints and being that I didnt want to spend time resoldering the entire circuit card, I just swapped it from another cluster that someone had botched a face covering install

Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
I'm getting a new cluster myself since I need the rpm gauge anyway.

Re: Speedometer randomly stops working
ive got clusters if anyone needs...
