2005 GMC Pickup speedometer does not go to zero

2005 GMC Sierra Pickup - speedometer is at 60 when stopped and goes up from there as I drive

  • brownco Mar 16, 2009

    I have a 2005 GMC Sierra and the spedodmeter had the same problem (started with same issue, then stopped working completely), I heard there was a recall because of the defect and called the local GMC and was told that the 05 had not been recalled yet.

    I have a 2005 GMC Sierra and the speedometer gets stuck around 40 or 50 and goes up from there. If I kill the truck and turn back on about 3 to 5 times then it eventually goes to 0.

There was not a recall, but there was a class action settlement where GM agreed to extend the warranty on certain vehicles for this problem. Check www.gmspeedometerrecall.com to see if you qualify.

It's a defective Speedometer... GM will replace it in the first 75,000 miles, if it showing as broken. (Mine would drop 5 mph avery time I restarted the truck, so I had to make sure it was above zero when I finally got it replaced).

Transmission won't shift out of first gear and speedometer stopped working on a 1995 gmc sierra pickup truck

Could be the speed sensor in the transmission. I would check that component first.

2008 GMC Sierra pickup. Driving and all of a sudden it shut off then turned back on; the doors unlocked then locked again. Now it won't do anything. Checked the oil and it was empty - no oil at

Running with no oil is death for the motor ( Seized). When the alternator stopped working because the engine stopped the door lock control opened the door locks as it said you were below the required speed to have them locked

Speedometer is at 50 MPH when stopped

Try this. Turn the key on, do not start the vehicle. Absence the needle on the speedo. It should move down and then back up. Before it moves back up turn off the key. Repeat this until the needle is at zero. Then start the vehicle. If the needle goes back to a spot other than zero, you may have to take it for a quick drive, than the speedo head is likely bad. This is a pretty common an known issue for gm's. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

I have a 2005 GMC Sierra Pickup and the speedometer stopped working, well actually it goes in between 90 and 120. What do i do?

Your instrument cluster needs to be rebuilt, your speedometer drive motor is wearing out, very common on these trucks.

Speedometer quit working

you might need a new speedo cable but if its a sensor you could need a new sensor and that might not be cheap.
