A 1990 Honda Accord EX automatic. Speedometer randomly quits working. Is there any way this problem can be fixed? Please give me some suggestions.

 

does the odometer also not work?

does the tach still work?

 

most likely u got a bad v.s. sensor but try something to diagnose,,,,,,,,,,first off, lets assume the fuse is ok because it works at times,,,,,,,,,go to v.s. sensor, unplug the 3 wires connector there should be a yellow, black and orange wires,,,,,,,.put the key on chk for voltage between yellow and black wire you should have close to 12 v. if no voltage u could have a bad black wire to ground , or a open in yellow wire,or bad fuse # 1 under dash fuse box ,,,,,,,if you got near 12 v.........now chk between black and orange u should have around 5 v.,,if not u could have a problem with the orange wire ,, try this and post results

 

deserthonda is right in that it's probably the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). I had the same problem in a 91 Accord manual. In my case, the Check Engine Light came on. If yours is on, check what code is being thrown -- it should be 17 if the problem is the VSS.
