2005 Hyundai Elantra Logo

The speedometer on my Elantra would jump and bounce without the headlights on and wouldn't move at all with the headlights on. The speed sensor has been replaced and the dealer told us the instrument panel needed to be replaced. We bought a used one and installed it but the problem is still there and now we can't get the new one out to put the old cluster back in.

I remove two panel underneath the steering column. The first panel is removed using a 10 mm socket. The second panel is removed using a torx socket (can't remember the size). Removing these two panels gives you room to get to the clip on speedomter. Looking at the speedometer, you should see two rectangular holes on each side of the speedometer cover. I use a awl to push in the clip (you could use a screwdriver). Looking underneath the dash, you should be able to see the clip you are pushing on with the awl. I take my 2nd awl and put it behind the clip. I get the left side to release. One the speedometer cover releases, you can see the speedometer. You will see the 4 torx screws (t20) and two smaller clips holding the speedometer. All that is left is the wiring. (I take a sharpie pen and mark one of my wire locations on the speedometer. I am not sure what it does. It is a single wire.)

SOURCE: shakes and vibration

i had the alignment done about six months ago at the dealership. Would they have been able to align the car if something was bad? Not sure how they deemed the new tires bad, but they said they moved the tires from left to right and front to back and could control the shimmy and shake. this has went on for about a year. I dont believe the new tires the first time were bad, i believe the rim was bent. I dont know what to do. These tires have about 10000 miles on them, have been balanced twice, a rim was replaced due to them saying it was bent, but yet, the vibration starts at about 55 and gets worse as you gain speed. Can even feel it in the passenger seat in the front as well. Steering wheel shakes. You can actually see your hand shake while you are driving it, but then at times, it seems to go away and start again. Thanks for any suggestions.

SOURCE: speedometer senser is jumping erraticaly

I had an Audi doing exactly the same. What happened was that through time, especially if the vehicle gets older with a higher milage, dust and dirt gets into the speedometer itself and causes all the small gears to get sticky. I opened it and lubricated all the small moving parts inside and all were ok. Try it before buying a new speedometer. (I'm talking about the speedometer clock itself) Hope this info might help.

SOURCE: speed sensor

It is in the transmission case. It is held in place by a single bolt on a Y clamp, has 2 wires coming out of it.

My 2001 impala has problems switching through gears while driving, only when speedometer bounces. Replaced speedo sensor, but still bunces.

You replaced the wrong part ! Should have had the vehicle checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . Replaced what speedo sensor ? No , it's not a ground wire !
Your probably have a bad wheel speed sensor ! Have it checked for DTC'S
Speedometer
The IPC displays the vehicle speed as determined by the IPC. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the class 2 vehicle speed message from the PCM. The IPC calculates vehicle speed based on the class 2 wheel speed message from the EBCM if a loss of communication or malfunction occurs with the PCM. The speedometer defaults to 0 km/h (0 mph) if the IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with both the PCM and the EBCM.

I have a 2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali. I hit a small snow drift yesterday and now my speedometer stopped working, my RPMS are bouncing, oil pressure is bouncing, temp is bouncing and vehicle wont shift out of...

Vehicle speed sensor, wheel speed sensor, your VSS operates you MPH and tells the trans how fast you are going and when to shift, it is telling the trans that your not moving so why would it shift? Next your ABS wheel speed sensor tell the car what wheel is moving at what speed to activate traction control and abs systems both are very sensitive and easy to break

1991 deville speedometer jumps from 0 to 40 sporadically and fuel data center bounces between option (avg., miles to empty,fuel used) even though the fuel level shows correctly. change oil light comes on...

Well I was going to say it sounds like a faulty transmission speed sensor, but the headlight circuit would not affect that.
Could be a short somewhere in the harness for the instrument cluster.

Speedometer bounces from current speed down to zero (where it sometimes sticks)

It won't be a cable, as it's impossible for a cable driven speedo to perform this way.
It's an electronic speedo.

Check and/or replace the speedo sensor in the gearbox housing.

I have a 2003 elantra, code p0501 it says its a speed sensor but my car is not abs breaks

Hi, the speed sensor is needed even on vehicles without anti-lock brakes. Is your speedometer working? If it is, the problem may be the wiring from the sensor to the computer.

My speedometer bounces when i hit 45 miles an hour, what do i need to do?

Hi.

Problem is usually the speed sender failing when speed gets too high. In some case the speed gauge itself is damaged. In Mercury the speed sender is located in the transmission. The part is difficult to test without professional equipment. Repair is done replacing the speed sender. If that does not fix the problem, work on the instrument panel speedo.

Here location of the speed sender:

2002 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPEED JUMPS AND RPM REV UP ON STARTUP

Assuming you meant tachometer, not speedometer, then it's the throttle position sensor. I just replaced mine on a 2003 Jeep Cherokee, and they are prone to failure on all Chrysler products, especially if over 70k-80k miles.

Speedometer doesnt work or bounces causing car to studder

On my 96 the PSOM module went bad. That is located on the back of the instrument cluster. Mine is analog not digital. What was happening was that the PSOM (Programable Speedometer Odometer Module) would mess up and the speedometer would jump all over the place. The tranmission is electronic and the computer would adjust and shift depending on the speed reported by the speedometer. The van would **** and shake. At slower speeds it was much better. I changed the speed sensor first without success. Changed the instument cluster and all was well.

1998 Honda Civic speedometer nervous on the red light

?? Does it move on the road ? You could have a worn out CV joint that allows the transmission to free-wheel. If that is the case, replace immediatly, or the transmission differential will fail.
