Doesn't have to be a sensor , could be other thing's . Does the vehicle run good ,transmission shift good ? Take an have a full vehicle scan done at a qualified repair shop. The instrument cluster has a microprocessor inside which can store DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes which mite tell you what's wrong . The gauge it self could be bad . Could have DTC'S stored in the BCM - body control module . The VSS - vehicle speed sensor is a input to the PCM - engine computer ,the PCM sends the speed info to the instrument cluster over the C.A.N . serial data network (bus) . Lot's of places for the info. to get lost . So , do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop.

My guess is that the speed sensor has gone out or the wires that go to it have been knocked off somehow.

SOURCE: Overdrive light flashing on my 1994 Lexus ES300/speedometer quit

I bet money on the tranny speed sensor being the problem- I think NAPA has em for about $100 bucks or so, but that has been a while. Good luck

SOURCE: I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty sport it has 39600 back-up lights not

If you have tested fuses and bulbs with test light,and they check out,
the next step is to put you jeep in reverse with the key on,and use your test light to probe the wires before they enter the bulb sockets for power,if you have power replace sockets,if not check to make sure wires are still connected to back up light switch on trans,if you find no problem there,replace the switch

Testimonial: "Thank you for the info on my jeep. I brought it to my mechanic and he could not find where the new switch goes.I will bring it to the dealer."

SOURCE: Speedometer Quit working, odometer also. Don't

Hello.
What sounds like happened is that the instrument cluster fuse sounds like its burnt out. Otherwise the wires on the back of them both may have been knocked out. Very simple fix if its the fuse, if not, pull the cluster out and check the wiring. Hope this helps!

Speedometer doesn't work on 2002 jeep liberty

If the speedometer does not work but the odometer does, the problem is in the speedo cluster. If neither work, it may be the speed sensor on the side of the transmission.

Speedometer not working on my 2002 jeep liberty.

The routing of the speed sensor wires is located on the rear differential. The problem is that they rub on the E-brake cable and once the wire is exposed they short and the speedometer and any other options running off the speed sensor quit working and that includes the transmission shift points and can cause the torque converter to not unlock and cause stalls. We went to a dealer and got the replacement kit for $32.00. He also took the time to encase the wires in a plastic tubing to avoid this problem again.

I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty. The heater/air blower just quit working, I checked the fuse and that was good. What's the problem?

most likely its the blower motor unless it has a relay that you cant check you just have to replace it. sometimes you will have a few relays that are the same and you can use one just to see if thats the problem,but make sure its not one that controls anything major.

Need to know where all three speed sensors are on 04 Jeep Liberty. My speedometer has quit working - all other guages on dashboard work.

It is located on the rear diff. at the top. The cable for the parking brake crosses close by and messes up the wiring.

2002 jeep liberty speed sensor

Jeep Liberty 2002 woahs !
by porth21 - 2/1/09 7:35 AM In reply to: Jeep Liberty 2002 speedometer not working by Dannywon
I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited with the same problem. The main problem I have found to be the routing of the speed sensor wires located on the rear difrential. They are 2 blue wires on my jeep and probably the same on yours. The problem is that they rub on the E-brake cable and once the wire is exposed they short and the speedometer and any other options running off they speed sensor quit working and that includes the tranny shift points and can cause the torque converter to not unlock and cause stalls. I am having the same problem for the third time and chrysler and jeep are both aware of the problem and unwilling to repair the problem or post a recall.
