Do you notice certain times/events that seem to influence your speedo acting up? |
not at all. it does it completely randomly. sometimes it will just die and rest at 0 mph, and sometimes it will bounce all over the place.
i've done too much work on both mine and my girlfriend's car is the past couple of weeks, that i don't even feel like looking at it right now. everything else is still operating normally, so i figure when i have a day off work and i find myself really bored with nothing to do, then i'll take a gander at the speed sensor. although i think if the speed sensor was bad it would cause the transmission to act up. but i don't know, i'm stumped.
does the speedo in these things operate electronically according to the signals coming off all the sensors, or does it operate mechanically with a cable?
