My speedometer keeps going off and on, mostly off.

Hi my name is Tom and I am here to help you.

I am going to guess that you have a standard and not "fly by wire" speedometer. This means you have a speedometer cable. Does you speedometer race to the the top and then bottom out? Sometimes it catches and some times ti does not?

These are all indications of a worn speedometer cable end. Usually the end that goes bad is the end that goes unto the drivers side wheel.

You can replace just the tip, but on a 20 year old vehicle, I would replace the entire cable. The cable inside looses is lubrication and then rusts causing hang ups.

I can walk you through the change. It is really quite an easy fix. Give my a call or email me and I will have you up to speed in no time.

Either way please rank my helpfulness by rating the thumbs up for my solution. I look forward to a call or email.

Replacing speedometer sending unit

these are no longer read by cable but rather fly by wire consult your dealer for part location and replacement.... after market parts are always much cheaper then OEM however they dont always work... take the car to an Auto Zone Parts Store and ask them to locate the sensor for you they have a computer information bank they access for free....they can also scan your vehicle to see if any codes exist and all this is done as a customer service, perhaps they can give you an idea of what the part costs as well?

The speedometer stops working and it goes out of overdrive. It doesn't matter what speed I am going it happens intermitantly. Sometimes it will happen and go back to normal right away and sometimes it will...

You need to have the transmission serviced. Make sure you tell them this problem. It is a solenoid problem in the transmission that will need replaced.

1994 honda prelude vtec speedometer tach problem

Possible speed sensor. I know the speed sensors are a problem with hondas. A new speed sensor is about $200 and can be easily replaced. It bolts to the top of the transmission on the firewall side. Do NOT buy an e-bay one. They are only about $30 but are junk
