SOURCE: Cruise control not working, will not engage. No

Me too, 2007 with 33K miles. I read low brake fluid will cause the issue. I need to buy some.

SOURCE: Fule gauge speedometer and rpm gauges stopped

Go to the fuse box and change the fuse for "Gauges". I think this might solve the problem.

SOURCE: 1981 corvette seat conversion

you will need to pull off the four retaining nuts holding seat in place. Measure the length and width of bottom support frames. Many seats are interchangable.

SOURCE: SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE JUMPS UP AND DOWN BELOW

If someone before you bypassed the cruise control transducer and the cable goes directly from the transmission to the guage then the cable will be bent too much to work correctly. The car should have two cables. Once from the transmission to the transducer and then another from the transducer to the guage.

Rpm gauge not working

Could be a bad instrument cluster (bad stepper motor) or the vehicle speed sensor is bad. Does cruise control work, if it does then it is the cluster.

1999 Ford Taurus, There are a couple things not working which may influence both, first the RPM Gauge is not working and either is the Cruise Control. I just replaced the Vehicle Speed Sensor and that...

1. Have you looked at your owners manual for location of the cruise control fuses? 2. Same for the tachometer? 3. Do you live in a wet area with alot of rain? Next chance you have, get some electric cleanout spray from NAPA spray into all cruise control connections and tach connections. 4. Check the recalls from Ford there have been issues with 99 cruise econtrol systems.

2002 vw jetta tdi - problem with rpm gauge?

Hi, Did you notice the motor actually reving higher when the tachometer was reading a higher rpm.. If it was it could be your transmission slipping.. Set your cruise control and listen to your motor while the tachometer starts moving erratically.. Good Luck
