Why wont my speedometer work

Now none of my dashboard lights will work and my speedometer doesnt move from zero. This started after I hooked up my radio and when I did just the dashboard lights stopped working and then I tried hoooking up a set of speakers in my truck and everything was working fine and then everything just shut off. When Im driving I cant tell what speed I am going and how much gas is in the tank of my truck.

You have connected the radio incorrectly using a power supply and missing a ground wire modern electronics are balanced so connection anywhere causes your problems

SOURCE: my truck loses power

In most cases it is the fuel filter. I don't know when it was changed before, but it should be changed at least every 8-10 k miles. Make sure you change the air filter too.

We had a similar situation. It took the dealer a few days to figure out it was an issue with the wiring harness(es) in the center console - around or behind the transmission shifter.

Why doesnt my nissan altima shift

Im assuming you mean that the vehicle wont move when put it in gear and its an automatic! Check the transmission fluid level if it is ok check if vehicle will move in any other gear reverse 1 or L etc. If not it maybe a torque converter issue and maybe best for a transmission shop to sort

My speedometer doesnt work

Without key in ignition, depress and hold down the trip reset button by the speedometer until a code appears. Release button and the gauge cluster will go through a self diagnosis ( needles will move around and dash lights will blink). When needle returns to zero and lights go off, diagnosis will be completed and speedometer will be reset. Very easy fix.

Speedometer its not working

check to make sure the speedometer cable is still hooked into the transmission, if it is try taking it out and turning the cable by hand have someone watch the speedometer on the dash to see if it moves, if it doesnt move then the cable needs to be replaced

Dashboard gauges

Sounds like you have a broken wire. Check the wires under the fuse panel under the hood. Its a problem with Chrysler mini vans and it might be the same here.

Sometimes will not start and digital dashboard stops working.

Just had this problem on one of my homies cars. We thought it was the fuel pump, but it wound up being the anti theft. Locking all the doors and unlocking it from the drivers side (As recommended in the owners manual. ) with the key didn't work. But it did work locking all the doors and unlocking it with the key from the passengers side. Started right up!

2006 Toyota Corolla Dashboard Lights

If it is not down to your left right beside your pedals, I would take a look in the fuse box under the hood next to your battery. The fuse might be shared with other components, so have good light with you and check them all.
