Had a bit of trouble with my speedo on the car, would now and then sit on 0mph and then start working again although the mileage clocks always worked even if the speedo wasn't. After reading a lot of posts I replaced the speed sonsor which did not solve the problem. I then went to a carpark with the hood off the dash to get to the back of the speedo and have a feel about while driving in a circle. I found a point where I could make the speedo work and then stop working by pushing at a certain point.

So last night I took the speedo out and undid all the screws, cleaned the contacts and did it all back up. Took her out for a drive and all was working fine!

 

This morning its all gone wrong!

 

No speedo,

No mileage working,

No power stearing!

 

Please if anyone has any ideas can you let me know :cry:

Sounds like the speedo converter is faulty.

 

Is it an import?

Yes its an import, is there a way to test the converter? Dont want to spend another £120 odd quid replacing a part that is not faulty.

I dont know of any way to testing it. You could take it off, converting it back to KPH. If everything works then, you know the problem.

Tried removing it before to test it and the speedo just does not work with it removed

I had the converter wired in wron on my Zed and it threw up all sorts of problems with the power steering. I nearly laughed at a guy who told me it was the speedo converter at fault but as it wasnt reading correctly anyway and needed redoing I was amazed when it was correctly wired and the steering totally rectified itself!

No mileage working,

 

I like the sound of this convertor :P
