my speedometer is screwed.... - Hyundai Performance Forums

Alright, so I'm driving the other day, well like two weeks ago, and I look down and notice that my speedometer had stopped working. Well, I pull off of the highway, turn off my car and restart it and it works fine. I just let it go, thinking it may have been a one time thing. Well, it's been happening more and more frequently, almost to the point of not working at all. It's the whole center cluster that doesn't work - speedometer, trip-odometer, and the odometer. But, my tach, engine temp, and gas gauges all work well. I drive an auto 2001 tib and the cluster is just the stock one. Um, I've had my tranny replaced twice because it keeps going bad. Does anyone know what may be causing the cluster to not work?

Check the speedo gear on top of the tranny, i believe there is a sensor on there. I am not sure if those have a boss on the speedometer or not but you could check that. Otherwise...maybe you have a bad guage.

Check fuse lead wire, Computer control lead,(from sensor, and the sensor itself) and make sure ground is good. I had the SAME problem with a '91 maxima. It ended up being a faulty ground to the motor in the cluster assembly.

Om a buddy's 1600NX, it ended up being galvanic corrosion causing a bad ground *AT THE SENSOR THREAD* so all we did was unscrew it, clean up the threads real nice-like, and put it all back together.

For a 2001 I think that is highly unlikely... it may be a frayed wire from the sensor to the input cluster.
