My dumb Gauge Cluster ::Kicks it:: help - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Alright, so yesterday . . I went to a Performance shop here in Madtown and the owner and I worked on my gauge cluster for about 3 hours. The lights didnt go on @ night and we checked the fuses, bulbs, switches, everything you name it. Well, we eventually found a solution to the problem and everything worked fine. Then all of a sudden today I"m driving at about 50 and my speedo goes from 50 passed the 120 mark and stays there. I was still going 50, but my speedo was not working, i turned the car off let it sit for a while and restarted it again, the speedo stayed touching the bottom on the 120 side. Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong with my speedo???

lol maybe your speed sensor broke or something? Unplug the speed sensor and plug it back in. If that doesnt work take your cluster out again and mess around with it.

You mind telling us the solution to the problem? My cluster lights won't go on either and I don't know what it is.

Umm..i couldn ttell you exactly,but check all of your grounds and make sure they are getting power. I will talk to the guy that fixed it and let you konw what was really wrong with it and the solution to the problem, I know he re-wired something. -- And to add to my speedo problem, it works now, it seems like its very off and on

I dont realy understand, i was thinking the plug too but i mean, the day he fixed my gauge lights he securely made sure to plug everything back in.So, I doubt its lose.
