Speedometer not working

[Hardstylin]

Hello,

The speedometer on the dash cluster in my VP Calais was working on and off, I purchased another dash cluster for $120, same issue.

What would be the quickest yet most effective way to fix this?

Cheers,
Chris

it's the speed sensor under the car, think it's on the gearbox.

not just a sticky gauge, have you tried giving it a bit of a whallop

Okay, would I need to replace this or is this something I can fix myself?

i think replacing is the go, but i got mine done by an auto sparky, all up i think ~$300, steep but i didn't have time to try it myself at the time, that was with a new part. didn't want to get a 2nd hand and have it die

Where can the speed sensor be found exactly?

The speed sensor on the V6 Automatic is on the passenger side towards the back, near the extension housing (where the tailshaft goes). You see the wiring once you stick your head under there.

Yeah?

Mate, that's a relief. Where did you buy the sensor from?
