Hi all

I am new to the list & it's my girlfriend's honda... and I haven't a clue about Import cars.

Anyways... when she turns the key on, the speedometer automatically jumps to 40mph & stays there, and odometer and tripdometer doesn't work either. There is no error codes!! It's a 1998 CIvic SI 5 speed manual.

I thought it was cable driven so I tear apart the dash and SURPRISE... no speedo-cable. I was told it was the VSS sensor... how would I test? Where is it? and how much does it cost. Could it be something else?

any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

thanks... dave

 

still need help... anyone!!

 

nuts
My friend just called w/ the exact same issue on her 04
bump for the same issue

Edit**
New information:
The needle stays around 40 even when the car is off. Makes me think that the needle is just stuck, and not a screwed up cluster or vss.
Thoughts?
