today driving my car my speedometer stop moving (0 mph),my tach was working normal. Then later it started working again. then she stopped again. It seem like when i threw on the a/c it flipped out? Not really sure anyone had this happened to them before.

This happens to me every once in awhile to me it will kick in when I hit 45 but it also mine has bounced up an down to 20 on start up while still in park

sometimes on a start-up my tach wont work i just light tap the top of the dash and it pops up...same with my speedo if i just start rolling it will stick at 0 and i lightly tap the top of the dash and it works fine....try taking the cluster out and "inspect" connections and see if theres alot of dust or anything weird like that....

ps. still rockin the aristo hood! haha thanks again for it man!

I have noticed the same problem on my 93 GS
2turbo4u, please let us know if boxcarfan's suggestion fixes the issue?

Looks like it may be quite a common problem. I have to agree with boxcar though, I have the same problem and I just hit the top of the dash and the needle springs into action and starts working. Except sometimes, I have to hit it a little harder than "lightly"

thanks for the replys guys. I will do that boxcarfan, glad your enjoying the hood. I think it might be a wheel sensor(speed sensor). My volvo have a similiar problem. i will check and give ya'll an update.

I also have this issue with my Aristo but my tach also's dead at the sametime
I knew there was a technical fix for this!
I will try to tomorrow if they do not work.

gulleyman

What? Cleaning the contacts or smacking the dash
Let us know if it works, lol

205richo

Well try the technical bash the dash first of course!!!
But the only thing is that its been working fine since
I must of frightened it in to working!!!!

gulleyman

I may need you to threaten mine too. I smacked it and it seemed to be working but then I was pulled over for going 14 miles over the speed limit
....I had the cruise control on
(I pulled the instrument cluster and cleaned the contacts, also cleaned all the other ones I could get to behind the cluster, seems to have fixed it but only time will tell)
