Hi , I have 1985 honda prelude and the speedometer is not working or the odometer could you please help me figure out why these things are not working ? The cable seems to be ok ? any help would be very much apprecteated !

On the 85 model the speedometer and odometer are driven by a cable. This cable must have broken and will need replaced. Check the speedo cable where it connects to both the speed sensor and the back of the gauge cluster to make sure that the little prongs on the end of the speedo cable are fitting into the matching holes on each end of the connection. sometimes it slips out and loses its connection causing the gauges to go dead. Last but not least if the cable is good the the instrument cluster will need replaced. The VSS or speed sensor is on the transmission, the cable connets to this and to the gauges. If it were me I would get a new sensor and new cables which is cheaper than having a mechanic work on this, if the issue is not fixed then the guages must be replaced and these can be found at salvage yards or on the net as many years are interchangable.
