searched and seems like i have to replace the cluster, but i havn't checked my vss because i simply don't know where its located on the car. can anybody tell me what other things may cause the trip and odometer to stop working? its a 93 del sol si. thx

 

usually the vss is located on the backside of the engine bay on the top of the tranny next to the rear mount... it should have a 3 pin connector on it.

 

usually if there is a problem with the VSS it will set engine code 17...

 

If CEL is on, check the CEL FIRST!!

If the CEL pertains to the speedo sensor, ding ding ding, it's probably just the sensor located ontop of the transmission.

If CEL is NOT on....
Problem: The speedo doesn't work but the odometer works.
Solution: Replace the cluster or just replace the speedo gauge

Problem: The speedo doesn't work AND the odometer doesn't work.
Solution 1*: Bad Sensor - Replace the speedo sensor in the transmission.
*CEL should be on
Solution 2: Bad Gauge - Replace cluster or just replace the speedo gauge
IF Neither solution above fixed it.
Solution 3: Check all wiring from the sensor to the gauge. Because the signal is disrupted somewhere.

 

nope theres no CEL, just the odo and trip meter isn't working
