My speedometer jumps straight to 20mph when i turn my keys over. It will stay there slightly shaking and sometimes will jump to the correct speed for a matter of several minutes. I had read that this is my speed sensor and so I swapped it out and nothing changed. I then got the idea to disconnect the wire harness from the sensor for s&g's and when I started the car the same thing happened. So without the speed sensor even connected it still jumps up to 20mph and this is without starting the car i will add, just turning the ignition on. Can anyone give me something else to xshoot before i spend big bucks with a mechanic?

 

my old speedo would complelty stop working for long periods of time....a new speedo unit took car of that (the milege was reset though)

 

I'm new to the forums I'm having a weird problem with my speedometer it will work only once in a while when it does work it's accurate it's pretty crazy some times it's saying i go 140mph....I'll take a picture, I posting mainly because i want to know if anyone out there knows where i can get a new speedometer for a 5th gen 95 accord and instructions with pix if possible for disassembly of the dash... Thanks in advance.

 

yea i had the same problem this morning. But last night it wasnt like that, i wonder what happened......

 

Have you ever taken the guage cluster out and played with the needles? I made that mistake and mine did the same thing... i had to keep removing the needles and trying to guess as to which position the correct one was for the needle.... If that isn't your case i would say you have a messed up cluster and should just spend the $100 on a used one...

 

time to hit up the junk yard

 

thanks for replying guys...um to answer a question...I did not mess with the needles or the cluster I'm about too, and don't want to spend a whole lot for a new one and i really don't trust a used one from anywhere <-- has bad experiences with used stuff. lol i believe tasauto.com has it cheap tell me what u guys think?

 

do you really think they sell those parts on tasauto.com? Been lookin for it and cant seem to find it.

 

yes they are there look under interior then click under dash comp.

 

I had the same problem where I would turn the car on and the speedometer would read
20 mph. I would run it and it would jump to the correct speed after a couple of minutes. I turn the car off and it the needle would remain and 20 mph. I had installed indiglo lights. I went to a junk yard and bought a used cluster and everything works fine.

 

i'm trying to locate a used speedometer if not i'm going to the dealer :-(

 

yeah speedometer, replace it, i had to.

 

Has anyone changed out there speedometer and it still does't work? Could i be the sensor? If so does any one know where it's located on a 95 accord ex also how much which is always the biggest question. Thanks in advance for replying.

 

i kinda did a lil playin around, i would turn the key onto "ON" and turn it back off and do this 5 times or so. Then the needle drops from 20 to zero and then i start the car, and the speedometer works fine......
