my 98 dx gauge cluster will not work well at least not the speedo what should i do or check?

 

check the wiring brhind the cluster. maybe something came lose or something. or your speedo might just be bad.

 

Check the VSS and plug on the top of the tranny. The sensor could be bad.

 

Do you have a check engine light on?

Oh and I fixed the title of your topic - next time make the title specific to the problem.

 

this is the stock cluster correct? you did not try to do a cluster swap right?

 

check the fuses under the dash. fixed one last week for the same problem that had a blown fuse

 

Ditto

 

What fuse would you change? I have the same problem on a 96 stock base model and see no fuse for the speedo?

Thanks for any help folks

 

it's not for the speedo, it's for the alt speed or rpm signal

 

check under the intake manifold where there is the brace there might be a wire (black and yellow) that has been rubbing on it and it could have its insulation stripped off. check it out it is a very common problem

 

wiring behind cluster.....

 

wiring under intake, that shorts out and causes that fuse to blow.

 

mine wasnt working this morning, i just flicked the cluster face and it came right on. lol

 

I have the same problem, i replaced the VSS and that didn't do anything. What should i do next, i look at the wiring behind my GSR Cluster it looked good and the orange wire lead to the speed sensor and it wasnt loose. i am running out of ideas.
