Have a very intermittant speedo at the moment - mostly doesnt work though - before I go the route of replacing speed sensor I know a few people suggest re-soldering the pcb to fix dry solder joints - I dont have a speed convertor box to worry about. Does anyone have any pictures of the jpoints to look at - is it just the ones on the membrane at the back of the dials or is it a case of take the housing apart to get to the dial electronics themselves and do that side of things?

 

Any help much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes Bilky, take the whole speedo out and resolder EVERY joint on the PCB, loads of em. Worked for me !

I thought you might say that!! I'll go and by a de-solder gun to help!

Is there any way of testing the unit by applying a voltage to it anywhere?

No Bilky, you don't need a de-solder gun, just heat and apply a little more solder to each joint, as for testing, I dunno, I didn't bother as mine was intermittant. Resoldered all joints and hey presto, sorted and all working

Just an update - all joints resoldered - speedo so far works a charm! Even fixed the 5mph out speedo as well so just got to keep an eye on it now! Saved getting a speed sensor and wasting £100
