Hello chaps.
My speedo stopped Working suddenly today.
Could this be a loose wire etc?  I know longer register speed or km reading.

Can anyone shed some light what the problem is and how to fix it?

Cheers

Sounds like a loose wire.Had the same problem in the TI.Maybe Get Ur mechanic to take the Instrament cluster out and test the wires to see if it is actully the Wiring or If it's the Gear's inside the Trip meter.

Sorry boys but you's are idiots :P haha

I was driving and mine suddenly stopped working one day.
There's a speedo sender unit that screws into the top of the gearbox, mine unscrewed itself. Check that.

If its not registering speed or KM, then its the sensor.

Lol I was kidding, but yes as budgie said, no speedo or km reading it's the sensor. It's a cylinder screwy thing ontop of the gearbox :)

That would be for the odometer / trip meter Kaylie. The speedo is driven by a sensor in the gearbox.
