He is fed up with how many he has done. So after a while it's bound to get a little loose. Do anybody have any idea what could be the problem? Upon further reading I found this issue is typically the alternator and when it happens it can throw random codes out which trigger the engine light to turn on. Chysler uses a proximity switch to count the revolutions on the drive axle, which gives you the speedometer input. The connection is just a simple plug and it's exposed to a lot of heat, cold, … and moisture, being way down there on the bottom of the car like that. This happens mostly in warm weather conditions temperature above 20 degrees C. As for the cluster, I thought there was a physical difference between the atx and mtx.
This happens mostly in warm weather conditions temperature above 20 degrees C. I don't want to risk damaging my board that hold the led bulbs. I realize this and pushed it completely and everything was find after that. When the computer loses the input it stores an error code, I believe it's 15, in the computer. I'm not sure if this type of repair is typical at this mileage.
I was on the highway and all of the sudden my speedometer stopped working, then at about the same time my power steering light came on and power steering went out. This indicates the need for the computer codes to be read from the computer. My question is, can a used cluster speedometer be reprogrammed i. . Here's a link to someone that has had the exact same issue. It is located at the back of the transmission on the tail shaft just before the driveshaft. The quotes varied wildly with some techs thinking it required disassembling the transmission completely.
I would say it is the output speed sensor located on the transmission. According to the experts at Seva Call, a faulty speed sensor is the most likely culprit in the case of a malfunctioning speedometer. Often covered under warranty, the speed sensor is located near the front axle and calculates the speed of the vehicle. I have a 2005 Mazda 3 2. I also asked Mazda service dealers for a quote in replacing this part. I installed the new gas cap and it fixed the problem.
A malfunctioning speedometer may also be due to damaged wiring. But this is all speculation! If there is two or more, would just 1 bad one cause no power steering, no speedo, abs brake engine power steering warning lights? But the engine is running fine though, no other problems. Mazda seems to call this part by another name Driven-speed gear set. The speedometer also relies partly on the wheel speed sensors to calculate the speed of the car; if there is a wheel speed sensor problem, the vehicle may not be able to calculate its speed. Many of the problems I encounter have been speedo's showing a faster speed than actual, 100mph plus. This normally happened after driving for a few minutes, the power steering error light would turn on, and the steering wheel would stiffen up.
If you don't see anything like that, I would recomend getting a can of electrical contact cleaner, and give a liberal hosing to the male and female plugs. . All this and much more is possible--- which makes necessary the services of a trained professional who can troubleshoot the system in a methodical way to arrive at the root of the problem, and fix it. From what I know, my cluster and the cluster I bought are the same except that the 09 cluster has white needles instead of orange. I did the research, on top of swapping the gauge faces and needles you have to sauder out the white led bulbs underneath the face plate and re-sauder them onto my existing cluster. Good luck Posted on Oct 19, 2009 There is no speedo cable on 04 T. Oil in resevoir could be wrong grade and its too thick for your artic weather.
You may benefit from a mobile automotive repair company, such as YourMechanic. There is no mechanical problems with my existing cluster. From there, I dunno where that signal goes. There should be three wires, I know one is for the r. According to the service manual, the cluster test for the cluster says to check for the voltage being 10 volts or more. It would help to know what model and year the vehicle is, but the first thing that occurs to me is a poor electrical connection, especially grounds. In case anyone is curious, my car has 168,000 miles on it.
Just wipe them off, and make sure the fittings are firmly snug when snapped back into place. The install could actually have been quicker were it not for corrosion around the old part. Take them off individually and check for corrosion from the moisture. Good Luck Dave Jan 23, 2009 sensor for speed got full of ice and seized or something similar. I have orange needles on my existing electro-luminescence cluster and I want white needles.
