Default Speedo Intermitant

1995 DX

my speedometer cuts in and out - is this an electronic speedometer? is it likely to be a loose connection?

Subscribing as I have the same problem. Speedometer and odometer. It's beginning to become very irritating. Dealer wants $80 to check it out, I've been too lazy. They said it is either bad cables or could be the sensor going out. I just may pull out my cluster tonight and take a look. I'll let you know what I find out. [sm=smiley20.gif]

im having the same problem with my 1996 civic dx, i have a SI cluster in it and i just replaced the speed sensor and it still didnt work. so i think i will take the cluster out and see if its some loose wires.

thread from the dead.... just get a new cluster(if you have one without a tach then this is the prime oportunity to gt one with a tach) that is what i did. if that doesnt work then it is you'r speed sensor..... and the cluster is cheeper go with that first
