Love the way you explain and love the pictures//Julio
Hey I raplace the speed sensor but my speed gage it still doesn't work, any other Ideas what else can it be?
Try getting a manual (Haynes?) and check the wiring as suggested. Maybe try a different gauge cluster?
Detach the sensor cable before pulling the sensor out. I used 2 shorter extensions and went at it from the side. Clean around the sensor before you take it out.
Does it matter if the car is automatic r manual
