You have a short. Check your fuses. If nothing is burnt out. Pull out your cluster. The short is causing a current drain somewhere between the fuse and the gauge. Do any installs lately that were questionably wired?

I would pull out the gauge just to check and see if there is any wires flapping around back there.

i've search about when speedometer and odometer doesnt work it has to do wit the speed sensor?
is that true?

Bringing back up from the past..

My speedometer and odometer arent working. Everything else in my gauge cluster works fine. I've checked to the VSS and everything is connected. Even tried different VSS but still no luck..

Any of you guys have this problem?

I have redtop SR20det swap
