Sounds like a wiring problem. The speedo is powered on the same circuit as the gauges, and the instrument lights are on the circuit with the tail lights but with a different fuse. So you are actually talking about 3 different circuits.
Hi, The most common cause for an electrical component to fail in a vehicle dashboard configuration is a blown fuse. According to the diagram for the fuse panel for your vehicle, the radio has two-10 amp fuses, one located in slot 17 and the other in slot 19. Slot 19 should be on the top of the far left row of fuses, while 17 should be on the next row over, one up from the bottom. The Speedometer issue sounds more like a wire is grounding out somewhere. If it were the fuse, your entire instrument panel would go dead because the entire panel is routed through one 10 amp fuse in slot 4, far right row, third up from the bottom. You can check that fuse as well, but the loss and regaining of power to the speedometer and the fact that you didn't mention other instruments in the cluster going out lead me to believe there is a bad wire somewhere. Hope this helps!
The fuse may be working alright but it can get blown in socket or improper fixing.so check the wires also and it will be fine after that and the speedometer is not coming change the cable.thank you
My brothers 2000 ford ranger the fuse went out to the speed sensor. I change the speed sensor because it did not shift out of 1st gear and the speedometer stopped working. I then found out the fuse was missing in the fuse panel. My brother could not tell where the fuse went but when I put a fuse in it started shifting and the speedometer started working. everything was good. You should have a code if it is the speed sensor.
I don't think the Speedometer has a fuse and when its not working ( Speedometer) That means your VSS ( vehicle Speed Sensor) went bad and probably need to be changed. Good luck
hey ! guyz i dnt knw for sum reason my dash board lights are not working, i have checkd the fuse and the bulbs buh they are perfect can ny1 tell me whatz wrong wiv ma 1998 honda civic dashboard lights.
The speed sensor is necessary to tell your transmission when and if to shift. The PCM uses the information from it, plus the way your vehicle is accelerating to determine shifting, and if the sensor went out, or the PCM went bad, then you'll lose your transmission shifting. You can shift it manually though. There is also a fuse under the hood that provides the transmission with power, and of course, if any wiring or connections are bad, will cause the same problem. Hope this is was you're looking for.
check the fuse for the speedo, (fuse #35 interior fuse box) if it is ok the electronic speedo will need repair, this is a common problem since Ford went to electronic speedometers.
It's not the fuse. You need to jump start the diagnostic cable. First you need a battery of 9v and short the + and - terminal to the diagnostic cable. Then you will see smoke. After that it should work fine.
