2000 jaguar xj8. Speedometer stopped working but the odometer still works. ??? What should I be looking for?

Use the Owners ignition key instead of the Valet key.

Security is set. Could be one problem. Fuel system can do this, but rarely. Takes a scanner to see where to look first.

as for the speedometer and the odometer reaplace your speed sensor but for the shifting problems i would replace the transmission fluid and put a quart of lucas stop slip transsmision fluid

The cable is not fitting properly in the speedometer either on the transmission or the speedometer itself. If you push on the speedometer and it works than this is most likely the problem.

the odometer needs to be rest.

Thanks.

if speedometer and odometer are not working, chances are that the speed sensor is bad and stopped working. find vehicle speed sensor on transmission, the connection may be corroded or the sensor itself is bad. good-day !!

Dear Sir/Madam, The problem is electrical. The speedometer/odometer box needs to be removed from behind the steering wheel (or after removing the steering wheel)...The bulbfuses behind the panel need to be changed and new electrical connections made for the speedometer/odometer to work.
Thanks, Netpreneur

The speedometer has to programmed to the Car, A jag dealer can program it for you
