Unless you have a totally stripped-down Eldorado, your speedometer is most likely ELECTRONIC (probably even has a digital readout).
Check your Trip Computer. Has it stopped reading fuel economy, distance to empty, etc.?
Is your odometer also not adding miles as you drive?
If affirmative to all of the above, replace your SPEED SENSOR, and you'll be all set :)
If the speedometer and odometer are both dead, the problem is usually the speed sensor in the transmission. If only the speedometer is dead, the speedometer and cluster may have to be repaired or replaced.
Is there an ABS light on also? I would suggest that you check for trouble codes first, but it could indicate that the vehicle speed sensor is faulty. Check for the obvious first, fuses, connections to the instrument panel, and trouble codes. Auto Zone and other stores offer computer code reading for free if you don't have the tool.
This is most likely a faulty speed sensor on the transmission but may be a faulty Dash board controller. This should be electronic. If there is no voltage on the wires going to the speedometer it is the Speed sensor or TCM.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor located on the Transmission is malfunctioning or the connection is malfunctioning.
It is very easily removed and replaced.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor sends vital information for the Transmission to properly Shift. Because yours is malfunctioning, this lack of information is causing shifting problems.
I do not know if you have a Mechanical or Electrical (Gauges or Digital) Instrument Display. I also do not know if you have a 17 or 19 bolt transmission pan, nor what type of transmission you have (AX4N or AX4S) Nor if you have a Speedometer Cable (Mechanical Instrument will have Gauges=Cable).
The best thing to do is to check the connections of the Vehicle Speed Sensor. Unplug and check both sides of the connection for corrosion/oxidation. You can also take this sensor out of the transmission and clean the interior end; reinstall and recheck operation.
If this does not fix the problem, then remove and replace this snsor.
Take the Sensor with you to the auto parts store to compare the part you receive. You should know what tansmission you have and the number of bolts on the transmission pan, and whether you have an Electronic (Digital) Instrument Panel or Mechanical (Gauges) Instrument Panel on your dash.
Let me know if this helped, or if you have additional information or questions. Feel free to contact me at FixYa.com!
HI. This will be the fault of a defective speed sensor. The module is responsible for transferring the correct data to the ic, located just behind your in-dash speedometer. This sensor must be replaced. The location of the affected part will be mounted on the transmission. Normally, mounted on the front of the transmission housing.
