It's the VSS and it's been posted in like 4000 other threads.

 

yeah searching speedometer brings nearly 150+ in the archives....


okay got a code 41 and a code 7....dunno but two codes were not what i was looking for.

 

serching now on CB7tuner for an answer here on these codes

code 41
code 7

no glory searching here.

 

no code 17....WTF.

code 7 TPS-its unplugged.
code 41 heated oxygen sensor heater


so no code 17 this sucks so its a malfunctioning gauge possibly the solder?

 

Boingo, if you're not getting a VSS CEL then most likely it's the cluster.

 

Another sign...if the odometer is still functioning then it points to an issue with one of the two boards within the cluster.

If the speedometer doesn't work the odometer shouldn't be working either. Regardless of the VSS or not.

No Cruise + CEL + No Speedo/Odo = VSS

Cruise + No CEL + No Speedo/Odo = Cluster

 

Check out the Helms when you get a chance, under Electrical, Speedo/Trip Meter/Odo Troubleshooting...there are situations where the odo still functions while the speedo goes out.

 

I'd be very curious to see that, I'm sure there's a chance of it happening but in all the cases I've seen and helped with the Odometer doesn't function either.

I actually figured out the issue by guessing rather than using my manual haha.

Make sure if you swap the cluster, notify DMV. I made a thread and people said it was illegal to do so without telling them. Right Muffinman?
