Hey there, first time poster here! Thanks in advance for your help I hope I can be a contributing member soon.

I have a '97 Del Sol and the Instrument Panel is messed up. This is the deal:

Speedometer:
Works intermittently, will suddenly shoot to zero, and then back up to the correct speed

Odometer:
Stopped at 115k and some change. Once in a blue moon it will crank over a few miles, then it stops again for weeks.

Has this happened to any of you? Does the instrument panel need to be replaced? If so, is that a pain in the rear? It certainly seems like it should be.

I've removed an engine, replaced a transmission, repaired a head gasket and done numerous other projects on various Honda's. Should I try and tackle this one? The car probably has 200k miles on it, but the odometer is broke

Thanks!

 

Have you scanned for any codes? Maybe your VSS sensor?

 

If no codes, then replace the cluster or the speedometer unit.

 

Mine was the same. Replaced instrument cluster and it worked fine again.
