No owners manual would help there,

but why have you not purchased one
for the items it does offer, you may need?

If you were to go to Helm.Com & spend the
money for a Factory Service Manual,as well
as any & all Emissions & Diagnostic Manuals
& wiring diagrams

Only then-- can you work on your own vehicles

Why would you throw parts at it,speed sensors
& such?

You got codes & think they have something to do with
parts, NOPE- they do not

Could it be a fuse or relay?
Really-your guessing now & haven't even
checked those items!

Wires are good you say!

You have a factory wiring book from Helm or AllData
& did some testing with a meter,actual voltage drop tests?

Need proper reference material & info BEFORE you even
walk to any vehicle made from 1981 on with an obd system

You can not find or solve any issue IF you DO NOT know how
the system works

Try Googling the question

Maybe someone on a forum asked &
someone provided what eventually fixed
the problem-for them of coarse & whatever
their problem was

SOURCE: 2002 jeep liberty speedometer stopped working

I had similar problem with my 2002 Jeep Liberty when it was new. Speedometer went crazy when I turned on the heater. As i turned up the level of air, the speedometer was directly affected. Turned out it was a loose grounding wire in the dash, and the air pressure from the heater caused it to move and lose grounding. I would guess you have a loose wire somewhere. But on the plus side, you aren't putting as many miles on your odometer...

Jeep Liberty 2002 woahs !
by porth21 - 2/1/09 7:35 AM In reply to: Jeep Liberty 2002 speedometer not working by Dannywon
I have a 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited with the same problem. The main problem I have found to be the routing of the speed sensor wires located on the rear difrential. They are 2 blue wires on my jeep and probably the same on yours. The problem is that they rub on the E-brake cable and once the wire is exposed they short and the speedometer and any other options running off they speed sensor quit working and that includes the tranny shift points and can cause the torque converter to not unlock and cause stalls. I am having the same problem for the third time and chrysler and jeep are both aware of the problem and unwilling to repair the problem or post a recall.

SOURCE: 98 grand cherokee asd relay blowing fuse

The fuse it doing it's job, you have a short ( Wire that is connected to a ground, that draws too much power )

If you have an electrical schematic ( Repair manual ) find out which wires are connected to that fuse and check them for any chaffing, cuts, unnesassary twists, or corrosion.

If you have a ohm-meter, isolate the system ( by disconnecting the fuse, and other connections. Then check for any resistance on wires that should not be connected ( because you disconnected them ) by having one Lead on the wire's connector and the other meter-lead on your car's frame. A good wire will not have continuity if it is isolated.

After replacing speed sensor and pigtail connector on my 2002 jeep liberty sport 2.4l manual transmission car, the speedometer still won't work. I've checked wiring, relays

MY JEEP (WRANGLER ) 6SP, M/T USE ABS FOR SPEED
WHY YOU FAIL IS NNO SCANNING THE PCM FIRST.
AND FUSE GOOD.
Code DTC P0500????
some cars us 2 speed sensor 1 and backup.
the scans report them all every one that fails.
make sure ABS is happy too.
i will read your cars service manual to you.
first off the cluster is pure digital, the PCM sends serial data to the cluster for speed and all meters. serial PCI bus it is.
that means the PCM is being lied to, (inputs)
21 PAGES ON PCM SCHEMATICS. BCM MORE. BCM IS ALSO CONNECTED TO VSS (SPEED)

My speedometer quit working on my 2008 Jeep Liberty which sensor is that exactly to fix it

Doesn't have to be a sensor , could be other thing's . Does the vehicle run good ,transmission shift good ? Take an have a full vehicle scan done at a qualified repair shop. The instrument cluster has a microprocessor inside which can store DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes which mite tell you what's wrong . The gauge it self could be bad . Could have DTC'S stored in the BCM - body control module . The VSS - vehicle speed sensor is a input to the PCM - engine computer ,the PCM sends the speed info to the instrument cluster over the C.A.N . serial data network (bus) . Lot's of places for the info. to get lost . So , do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop.

The speedometer on my 2004 Chevy Ventura does not work... What would be causing this problem

Could be a few thing's . Hooking up a scan tool an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes would be the first thing to do., viewing speed input data to the PCM - engine computer from the VSS - vehicle speed sensor . Also if the PCM see's this input it outputs this info on the class 2 serial data communication network to the instrument cluster . The instrument cluster has a microprocessor with logic programmed into it , an controls a electric motor to set the speedometer needle . GM had bad Stepper motors in their instrument clusters from 2003 to 2006 .
Does the vehicle shift ok , no running problems ? Any light's lit on the instrument cluster ? check engine etc....

Speedometer doesn't work on 2002 jeep liberty

If the speedometer does not work but the odometer does, the problem is in the speedo cluster. If neither work, it may be the speed sensor on the side of the transmission.

Speedometer Problem

Did you try the instrument self test? With ignition switch in off, press the odometer reset button and while pressing it, switch ignition in run. Now all indicator lamps will come on and you can release the button. All indicators will run to full scale and should return to normal position.
The instrument cluster gets the speed information from the PCM (powertrain control module). The PCM gets the info from the ABS controller. I would pull the fuse from the ABS controller and see if it will change the speed indication. If it does, then the problem is with the ABS controller, if it doesn t, then most probably the instrument cluster is faulty.

I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERITY AND I HAVE CHANGED THE SPEED SENSOR THAT IS THE IN AND OUT PUT AND I HAVE ALSOME THE INE ON THE DIFFERENTIAL AT THE BACK OF THE MOTOR AND RESET IT. BUT THE ENG. CHECKS LIGHT...

If you have changed the transmission input and output sensors and the sensor in the differential, I would look the the electrical connector on the differential. I ran into this a lot on the Libertys. The Differential sensor is your speed sensor, so that is the area to look. If the electrical connector is ok, look at the differential fluid. If it is grey, then the sensor is picking up metal particals for the oil and something is wrong in your rear end. Gears, ABS reluctor ring, bearings, etc. Hope that this help.

Best of luck

I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty and i was driving and my speedometer stopped working and my ABS and Emergency brake lights are on.

sounds like you have a defective vehicle speed sensor, have the dealer test the system, the sensor will set a fault code in the control module memory

Check engine light

Have you erased the codes after replacing the parts? Disconnecting the battery for a few seconds usually erases them, maybe it will work for you.
