Long time since I posted here. My car has been doing great until just recently. I have a problem with my speedometer. I was out of town last weekend, and I was driving around, and I noticed that my speedometer had stopped working. It's done this occasionally, so I figured hell, it'll start back up as soon as I stop the car and shut it off. Well, I went into a store for about an hour, and I started the car. I was pulling out of the store's parking lot, and it still wasn't working. I drove it home. It sat for the next day. I looked over the fuses (Couldn't do much of anything, as I was at my mother's house and my tools are at my house, even the jack was... :blackeye: ) All fuses looked fine, but I replaced all of them anyway. I replaced all of the fuses under the dash, not inside of the engine bay. Well, I left my mom's house the next day, and I was taking my girlfriend over to her friend's house, and the speedometer didn't work at all that whole time. I spent a good 5-6 hours just driving around town, going to places I had to go. I picked up my girlfriend, and it still wasn't working. I get about 7 miles away from my house, and the speedometer starts working. I'm on the interstate doing 70MPH the whole time. I come up on the exit ramp, and I have to take it at 25MPH 'cause it's just a U-Turn, and I notice the speedometer is still at 70MPH, so I freaked my girlfriend out telling her I was do 70MPH on this very dangerous off ramp. :laugh: I get home, put the car in park, unload some things, and then proceed to park my car. It's still saying 70MPH. So I shut the car off, and then about 5 minutes later I start it again. It's still at 70MPH. I have no idea what could be wrong. I have checked it for debris in the cluster itself, but it's freely moving. Anyone know what I should look at? VSS? All my other gauges in the cluster work too.
