Default Problem with speedometer and breaks

Ok so i bought this car like 3 months ago, and i've changed the speedometer 3 times already and it still doesn't works... the battery light is only on in the speedometer for some reason even when the crank pulley was on ( it fell off ).

Why could it be that my speedometer doesnt works ?

how could i break the brakes ? ( i need to do this i got no brakes at all )

could someone HELP ME!!!

ps. anybody living near the torrington area in ct, i will actually pay sum1 to fix the car for me cuz i moved out of my mom's house and because of the car being not runnig ( it doesnt even turns on ) i havent been able to take it with me ( otherwise it would of been fixed a long time ago but i got no time when i come back here to fix it)


thx

95vxtealhatch is right. Your post reads like a panic attack. Try to give us as much clear information about your problem as possible in logical order. We are not trying to make you look bad - we do want to help.

Ok i'm sorry im new around.... let me try again...


I own a 95 Civic DX Stock D16 non vtech motor.

The speedometer hasn't worked since i bought the car like 2 months ago, i changed the speedsensor and the speedometer several times already with no success at all.

i checked the alternator to check if thats what it was wrong but it seems to be working fine. the battery light is always on for some reason but the alternator seems good. the crank pulley has fallen off a couple of times already but i dont know if that might be part of the problem with the speedometer.

My question is: How could i fix this ? what should i try to check that could be messed up or giving me this problem ?

Plus: I had to change my rear brake pads ( i got stock rotors ) but i had to bleed it too, i dont know how to actually do this as the assembly part where the bleeder goes is kind of twisted so when im almost done bleeding the bleeder brakes. any suggestions other than changing the whole thing ? ( i want to try to prevent changing brake lines and stuff like that )


I hope that now you could understand me better, thanx

It may be the actual speedo cable.. Have you replaced the whole cluster multiple times or just the actual "speedometer"?

I certainly don't know if that's "part of the problem" but if your crank pully keeps falling off, it's certainly a BIG PROBLEM.

I'm not sure what you mean here, but it seems like you have a problem if the "bleeder" is breaking.. You're gonna have to replace it if it is broken or you wont be able to get the air out of your brake system.

Not trying to hate on you but you should probably just take it to a mechanic. Messing with brakes and engines when you don't exactly know what you're doing can be dangerous. I say it all the time, do some research and learn as much as you can. If you have friends or relitives that are good with cars, hand out with them to pick up some experience.

well yah but im trying to kind of learn by myself... i mea, honda mechanics is not hard at all. i've learned to do things easily by myself in this motors ( ex. clutch changing, motor swap, sensors testing, etc ) so its not like that i wont be able to handle it. i just need a quick link to some guide telling me how to do it as i dont want to mess with this like i did with my other stuf.
