93 Del Sol Speedometer trouble
Alright, so I picked up a 93 Del Sol and it looked really good, body is in great shape, 160k miles, interior is decent, the owner warned me he thought the water pump was weeping and to keep an eye on it. Alright no big deal. So apparently he had never tried the cruise control and it was a 300 mile drive home so I fiddled with it and it turned on, so far so good right? Fast forward 80 miles and it suddenly turns off, turning back on for a handful of seconds here and there the rest of the drive home....now the speedometer, odometer, and trip meter are dead so I'm hoping one of you guys know these cars inside and out and may have ideas?

on my 94 EG sedan D15 my cruise never worked. actually kept it unplugged because it drained battery. i never got around to fixing it.
but my speedo is acting funny in my 94 Eg Coupe D16. I will be taking my cluster into work tomorrow to have it repaired. ( i will start thread of that repair when im allowed to start threads). But i want to tell you usually on clusters without data interface like yours its sometimes VSS wire/Sensor but 90% of the repairs we get are almost always cold solder joints bad resistors and leaking caps on cluster. i will add that honda get repaired the least.
the crappy part is your cruise has VSS going to it so it compounds the problem of diagnosis. like i said i believe you may be able to drive with Cruise unplugged?
i would try that first. i dont think your cruise would cause errors on the odometer but i could see it happening if it fried your VSS sensor. second thing i would do is meter the vss at the back of cluster. if you have signal there you know its cold solder or stepper motors. Meaning the cluster needs pulled and repaired.
