I have a 1998 Honda Civic DX Hatchback, and the problem I am trying to fix is my speedometer and my odometer.

First, my speedometer, was messing up, it was bouncing up and down between 0 to 20, then it would stay on 20 while I drive.

So I replaced the speed sensor a few days ago (10/11/14), the speedometer started to work fine, now it's back to staying on 20mph.

I don't know how to fix this!

Second, my odometer is not working at all!
I've had this car for about a week, and the odometer will not trip or anything.

What do I do to fix these issues!?

 

wiring for speed sensor is probably corroded

 

Yeah, sounds like corroded wiring

 

So do I need to replace the cluster? I plan on buying a new cluster in a few days

I can't seem to find out where the wiring is going from the VSS. Theirs a clip that clips on the speed sensor, and then the wires all go into these tubes that hide the wires. I don't know where the wires are going to.....

 

No dude......you have corroded wires somewhere or a loose connection............

 

Pull off the plug off the VSS and look at the contacts.

 

Check whether 7.5A dash fuse 15 is blown.

 

All fuses are good.
I bought a new speed sensor, but it didn't fix the speedometer problem, so i returned that part.

 

How do you know this^ for fuse 15?

 

You were told that the issue is not your speed sensor..........

 

This is one HUGE facepalm moment!

 

This problem is fixed. I went to the junkard and just bought a cluster. Everything is working now. Just on the new cluster, my gas handle floats.
