Default What's up with the speedometer? ('94 ES300)

Greetings, all -

This '94 ES300 I picked up a few weeks ago continues to run superbly.

When I was talking with the owner via email, he said:

"...the only problem is the speedometer is sometimes stuck , they all have this problem."

And he was right. About every other time I drive it, the speedometer is dead in the water. Is there a fix for this, or at least an explanation? It's obviously no biggie, but I'm curious.

Thanks,
Joe

id say its a biggie when cops are as crazy as they are in my home town. Mine works fine...Might look into getting a gps with speed on it to get by until you can fix.

um...you're in the 2nd gen (98-05) GS forum. You need to find the 1st gen ES forum. Maybe a mod can move this for you.

Bang the top of the dash with your fist. Used to work on my '94 SC400.
