  • Brad Brown Sep 10, 2012

    Are you sure that it is not electric? Look at the output on the transmission to see if there is a cable, or WIRES.

You have to remove the speedo unit on the dashboard front of your steering wheel. you must be careful not to brake anything. then turn it slightly on the left and you will see the speedo cable connector in the center of the unit, Unplug it,it is easy,the go in the engine compartment on the gear box side and you will see the speedo cable ended on top of the gear box close to firewall and you have to unscrew the end and slowly slowly pull the cable coming off the fire wall from the driver's side by pulling as well a rubber sealer on the firewall. renew it and go backwards fitting.

My Toyota Corolla 2005 speedometer not working and my gear is not selecting

There could be several possible reasons why your gear is not selecting and your speedometer is not working in your Toyota Corolla 2005. Here are a few possible causes:
  1. The gear shift cable may be disconnected or damaged. The gear shift cable connects the gear shift lever to the transmission, so if it is damaged or disconnected, it may cause problems with selecting gears.
  2. The transmission itself may be damaged. If the transmission is damaged, it may cause issues with selecting gears and may also affect the operation of the speedometer.
  3. The speedometer cable may be damaged or disconnected. The speedometer cable connects the transmission to the speedometer, so if it is damaged or disconnected, it may cause issues with the speedometer.
  4. There may be a problem with the vehicle's wiring or electrical system. If there is a problem with the wiring or electrical system, it could cause issues with the gear selection and speedometer.
To accurately diagnose and fix these issues, it will be necessary to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic. They will be able to perform diagnostic tests and determine the root cause of the problem.

Speedometer is erratic

It sounds like the core of your speedometer cable is rubbing the outer housing. The speedometer cable runs from the inst panel, thru the firewall, and onto the side of the transmission that faces the driver. This is not a hard job to do, but, when replacing the cable, take care to not break the ears off of the part that hooks on to the back of the speedometer.
