No , there is not a fuse just for the speedometer,There are fuse's for the whole instrument cluster . The speedometer gauge is probably bad , GM - pontiac , buick , chevy , cadillac , oldsmobile ,GMC ,had problems with the stepper motor that controls the instrument cluster gagues ! How to repair GM Instrument Cluster Speedometer Gauge Stepper Your best bet is to have it diagnosed ,need a factory scan tool to diagnose it .

Nope. The speedometer needs a signal from the vehicle speed sensor to operate. Is the check engine light on? If so, scan for any codes that may indicate a VSS problem. If no codes, possible internal cluster issue with the speedometer head

SOURCE: low beam headlights not working on 2004 Pontiac Montana extended

You headlight lamp have a diffuser mechanism which allows it to flip between the hight beam and low beam feature of the bulb. In fact, you high beam will function even if the low beam is not working.

I would recommend the purchase of the new headlight lamp. It would cost you you any where from $15.00 per unit to get a replacement lamp

SOURCE: speedometer and tachometer stopped working

If the speedo isn't working properly, the first thing to check is the output speed sensor wires on the rear right side (near the bar code) of the tranny case. Follow the wires and make sure it hasn't been cut, pinched or shorted.
If all is well there, take the output speed sensor off. Watch out cause you'll get wet with tranny fluid (Dexron 6). (Be ready to plug it up.) If there are no metal chips or debris on the magnet inside, check it with an ohmeter on the two pins to see what the reading is. It should be around 6 to 10 ohms. If it's not steady, get a new one. Make sure the pins are clean on the connectors.
Apply some white or build grease around the shaft and "O" ring and re-install. Don't overtighten. The bolt is a "tap-tite" and should need only about 5 or 6 ft/lbs torque. (Run it in and give the bolt a quarter turn.)

SOURCE: 2004 Pontiac Montana Brake Lights, Pwr Window and Cruise all Quit

The cruise control stopped working on my 2002 Montana. I googled this and several places kept indicating the brake lights. I thought they were OK also because the top bar came on when you step on the pedal. However, the side lights did not get brighter. Turns out I had both bulbs bad, they have two elements. Once that was fixed the left turn signal flashed very fast when tested and that was a bulb in the front that went bad. Before I was done one headlight went out from a bad bulb and I replaced that too. Finally got to test it out, and lo and behold, the cruise control now works.....

2004 Pontiac Montana, temp gauge never reset when car turned off, now it is laying past the boiling point,

Sounds like a bad stepper motor in the instrument cluster. These are known to go bad. I had the same issue with my speedometer. Found the part on EBay for around $10. The hardest part with replacing it is that you have to unsolder the old one from the circuit board and then solder the new one on. There are a few good DIYs online that show you how to do it step by step. -Scott

2004 Pontiac Montana problems with my speedometer,gas,and temperature guages varied readings on the highway 120km plus the reading goes to 200km the gas meter sticks at 3/4 tank and the temp guage is...

It gets a little complicated here but I will tell you what it can be. Devective dash voltage regulator, lost ground at sending unit, break in wire going to the dash, bad sending unit. Check the fuse, may fix it. Other then that, you will have to check these parts. If you have another question, write me back. I will help the best I can. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

None of the dash gauges are working on 2004 montana van,why ? tach,speedo,gas gauges not working

Check you fuses, chances are the fuse has gone bad and will need to be replaced. You have a fuse panel under the hood by the battery and another fuse panel on the passenger side of the dash at the end, just pull the fuse panel off and you'll see the fuses.
Thank you for using fixya and keep us posted.

The speedometer is not working but the other guages are for my pontiac montana 2000

Hello Durham.
Couple of possible problems here.

Does the odometer work? If it does your speedometer is defective and will need replacement.

Or if your check engine light is on your speed sensor or wiring will likely be the issue. This will also affect the odometer.
