No Speedo

[ror rorz]

hey guys

well a little while ago my speedo just stopped working . so i searched on the forums and found something about the speedo cable snapping hence why hicas light turns on and i lose power steering after a couple minutes of driving.

today i changed the speedo cable over and nothing was wrong with the old one . so if anyone has any idea's on what could be wrong any help would be appreciated

thanks rory

It may possibly be the speedometer itself.

What suburb are you in?

i also have an apexi rsm fitted and everything is working fine on that except obviously the speedo on that ??

speedo sender in the gear box?

remove it and give the cog a spin (assuming one is on there, if not.. that's your problem) if you spin it and the speedo doesn't work, then its likely to be the speedo itself.

thanks for the help mitchy will try it out this weekend

was the apexi rsm installed recently?

check the speedo wiring near the ecu, maybe that has a short somewhere there.

i know when i installed my rsm. i forgot to tape up the speedo wire. so when i turn corners the ecu would move, making the wire ground itself to the body and the steering would go heavy.

32's use a cable driven speedo, and i think the ecu gets a electronic signal off the back of the speedo.. so if the RSM was shorting out, it shouldn't stop the speedo from working.

Well, you will be happy to know that I am experiencing the EXACT same problem, Hicas light, no Power steering, No Speedo.

Im not sure what ties them all together but this is the second day this has happened, Im at work at the moment but im going to try to see if the speedo works up untill I get the hicas light on.

hicas and power steering are speed sensitive, so no speedo reading gives you hicas errors and heavy steering.
