I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has seen problem.

I have a 1996 Civic SI with 156000 km (i live in Canada), recently the speedo has stopped working correctly, this is what happens....

i'll be driving, the speedo is working (counting KM's, and speed), all of a sudden the speedo needle moves down to between 20 and 30 km/h and stays there, and it does not count km's. the RPM gauge still works fine.

When i roll to a stop, right before the car finally stops the needle "jiggles up and down" and then stops between 20 and 30 km/h. and sometimes it will start working again.

i've tried to remove the gauge cluster to verify if anything is wrong but i think it could be electrical, because it's so inconsistent..

does anyone the cure to this? i'd rather do it myself then taking it to the dealer.

cheers from Canada.

 

possible speed sensor

 

do you know where this sensor is? and how do i verify what it is?

 

the sensor is on top the transmission near the fire wall. it's kind of a square plug. close to the engine also.

 

how do i verify if it's good or not?

 

try to get another one and see if it fixes the problem, maybe one of ur friends has the same motor u can just pop theres in and see if it works
