Speedo Stopped working, not sensor :(

Recommended Posts

Hi there, looking for some help with my car's electrical gremlins ;)

1993 2.0 16v Speedometer stopped working, other dials are fine.

changed the speedo sensor, didn't fix problem.

Put a multimeter on the plug that connects to the sensor, and whilst i am getting 5v in the middle pin, i am under the understanding i should be getting 12v from the end pins, but im getting 0.02 So guessing this must be the problem, the question is why am i not getting 12v ?

The only other thing i was doing the other day before it stopped working was putting a new blower motor in, as the old one had given up.

Also one more thing that did happen today, randomly when i turned the key to start the car up, the car sounded like it had a flat battery, and gave an electrical buzz sound and the speedo hand shot up and then back down.

Tried starting it up again and it started no problems, however speedo still not working :(

Many thanks

I had a Volvo that the speedo intermittently stopped, a good bang on the top above dial with hand worked every time!!
