hey tr. im a noob in the 240 game, i have an s13 coupe and im having problems with the speedometer(not working). not really sure what to do to fix it. it has a swapped duel cam ka in it. so the gauges are from a different car. so im not sure if that has anything to do with it but id figure to give a lil more info.

please no negative comments. im trying to learn not get embarrassed..

thanks

 

Get under it and see if theres a harness on the trans. I know it sounds simple but my dual cam swapped car was missing the entire harness and the speedo/odo didn't work.

 

start with that ^
then trace the wire from the speed sensor to the plug to make sure it is actually connected.
from there, I would say check the connection on the back of the cluster, it might be crappy or loose, or whatever from when the cluster was swapped.
Then, might have the change the cluster itself... they do go bad...

Have you been able to get fast enough to see if you're hitting the speed cut yet? That would narrow it down to being the cluster if the ECU is getting the signal.

 

Duel cam ka

 

^ lol.

I was going to let it slide because he was new...

 

yea my old cluster pooped out on me. check to make sure your cluster isnt bad if thats not it check your TCU. the TCU is a little white box pretty much on the floor of the drivers side. right next to your left foot if your sitting in it.

 

iv got the same problem, but my rpm's dont work and my speedo works when it wants, most the time stuck on 130mph lol. im sure its my cluster though
