dealer might be able to fix with the computer diagnostic tool. If there is a push button to reset odometer you can take a small wire and try and feed through the hole and raise needle above the pin. removing the instrument cluster cover is a pretty big task, if you cant find a place to insert a wire, only bypass I can suggest is drilling a tiny hole in the instrument cluster cover off to the side or top wherever the hole is least bothersome to you and then use a wire to raise above pin, after put a little clear silicone or a piece of tape over the hole to prevent dust building up inside the cluster
There are two speed sensors on the drivers side of this transmission. If your speedometer is working, replace the input sensor (closer to the front of the car). If the speedometer is not working, replace the output sensor(closer to the rear of the car). Or they cost less than 20 bucks, replace them both while you're underneath the car. They are dissimilar, so you cannot put the wrong one in the wrong place.
Check the oil level, this sounds like an overfill or the wrong weight oil used. It could even be a clogged oil filter, it could even be double staked oil filter "O" rings, one old oil gasket stuck to the engine, then the new filter installed over it.
If you just had the engine oil changed take it back and have them check it, if you did it yourself check it again.
I'm not sure about "pecking" ? taping?
Make sure you have oil, the right oil and not overfilled oil.
Other then that it could be an engine issue that would be hard to check over the net.
you may need a vehicle speed sensor that is located on the transmission which you can see by looking down towards the passenger side of the transmission housing.. it sticks straight up with a wire connector attached to it. it usually takes a 10 or 11 mmm wrench to remove it. hope this helps, please leave comment.
when the sensor was installed it was installed wrong.
They wired it into the turn signal feed.
have your dealer or, an auto electrician fix the wiring to your sensor.
Unscrew the speedometer cable from the side of the transmisson. Pull the cable out of the transmisson. While someone else sits in the drivers seat and looks at the speedometer you turn the end of the cable quickly. If the speedometer doesn't move the cable is faulty. Replace it
To check the speedometer only disconnect the cable from the speedometer and insert a small screwdriver.Turn the screwdriver quickly. If the speedometer doesn't move then the speedometer is faulty and must be replaced.
when you had the dash on its way out it got tilted and the free moving hand in the speedometer floated around the ring, now you have to remove the cluster and hold it up side down to get the needle to float back to the other side of the stop pin. or, drill a small hole at the base of the speedometer and take a piece of wire to move the needle, good luck
sit in the drivers seat close the door. with the key off hold the trip
odometer button in then while holding the button in turn the key on. if
done correctly this will put the MIC (mechanical instrument cluster)
into a self test. if the speedometer does not move like the rest of the
gauges during this test the MIC must be replaced. if the speedometer
does move it is likely your problem will be fixed, however, if the
speedometer does move but it does not start working properly then
further diagnostic will be needed.
That Cluster will work But, You will have to get an Installation kit if you want the Tach to work. Everything else will hook up the Same. You have a Distribution Box (Fuse Box) Under the Hood on the Drivers Side, There is a Fuse in it for the Speedo. Inside the Cover to the Box is the Fuse Diagram or in the Back of the Owners Manual.
I have the same problem.
