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

i believe this would be for both of you, the speedo sensor just unscrews by hand and if it is what the problem is then best option would be get one from the wreckers for about $20 otherwise holden charge about $240 for one.

the 3 wires that go into it get very brittle and hard over the years so it's quite possible that they may have broken off so which you would have to get a new sensor.

Cheers mate, I went into Holden and they said they don't sell them anymore and my best bet is the wreckers.

Passenger side. Yes, unplug the wires first.

Okay, so went to the wreckers, they wouldn't take one off for me so I decided to try it myself, unscrewed one off a VN, got home, took mine off and realized the pin in the one I got from the wreckers was broken, looks like I'll be going back to get another.
