yoopers -> '95 Chevy Corsica, dead speedometer (8/29/2006 11:05:11 PM)
|
Our '95 Chevy Corsica with the 3.1 V-6 engine suddenly lost the speedometer. One day, it stuck on 30 mph then the next morning it was dead. As I understand the system, the Vehicle Speed Sensor sends a signal to the ECM which in turn sends a signal to the electronically operated instrument cluster. Usually it's the VSS but I bought a new one today, installed it and still have the same problem. The other option is that the instrument cluster is bad which we would have to send out for repair.
What's bothering me is that I had just finished installing an after-market radio the day before and was messing with all the wires under the right-side dash, where the ECM is located. I don't think it's a problem though because when I turn the key to run, I see an ever so small jump of the speedometer needle, which tells me that it's getting some sort of signal. I'm afraid it may be the instrument cluster that's bad and even more afraid of what it would cost to buy a new one or have the original one repaired.
The other symptom is that the ABS dash light is on.
