2002 ford focus 1.4l ,73000mls,speedometer problem.

Sounds like the speedometer is faulty. If the speed sensor were the problem, the odometer would not work correctly, the transmission would not shift correctly, and the check engine light would be on.

hi,i have a similar problem on my ford focus 2001...ill be driving along and the speedo will drop to zero and the battery light will come on.Just had a new alternator as last one was overcharging would the speed sensor cause the battery light to come on? if so ill get the sensor replaced but dont want to if this is not the problem

leave well alone untill it packs up completely as it could be the head and if it is then it will cost quite a bit so leave well alone ,it could be anything from the cable to teh speedo head or even the drive .

OK, have the engine codes scanned to determine what system to look at as far as the engine.

Then, look around the transmission VSS or vehicle speed sensor to see if a loose wire or connection at the harness is causing the lack of speedometer reading.

Maybe try to wiggle the harness a bit to see if on the next drive the speedometer function returns.


If the VSS is changed and connected to the harness and the problem still exists, the wiring should be checked for continuity by a technician.

the clicking is related to low system voltage, that is due to a charging system problem, that is due to the Alternator problem.

Oh dear one of these problems. Sound like a loose plug or dirty connection in plug Very hard to find Start by checking battery and ignition circuit plugs and terminals Hope this helps Feel for you!

it's your cluster go get it fixed before it starts doing major damaged

Only 1000-2000 RPM? Does it do that in any gear?

Likely one of the speed sensors on the trans,and depending on year of the vehicle,some of the 90's models had the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) mounted on the transmission.
