Ok was driving yesterday on the interstate when all of a sudden my mph in the dash started going crazy , up and down up and down .....


Im thinking its the speed control sensor but not sure ??? Has anyone had this happen ??

If you know what it is how do i fix it , where is the part located on the carand how much is it going to cost for the part ????

Ohhh yea its a 1995 civic 1.5 16v auto ,.......


Thanks
Chuck

 

This happend to me, I couldn't figure it out myself, so I had to take it to a shop. First they tried the speed sensor, nope. Then, the nylon gear connected to the speed sensor, errrr wrong. Next they tried the gauge bezel, ding ding ding. They said that everysingle one of those parts went bad. I called bs and they only made pay for the sensor and gear. That's why I don't take me car into shops anymore.

 

well im pretty sure it is the speed sensor because when the mph arm would drop it would make a weird clunk in the tranny or engine and then again when it went above or evened out ....... so its got to be a sensor !!!!


Whati need to know is where is the speed sensor so i can replace !!!!!


It sounds like they were trying to screw u !!!!! I do all my own work , i can screw it up myself LOL

was hoping to figure it out on here with out down loading and hunting for it .....

someones gotta know !!??

 

I have a problem sometimes on my speedo... at times it gets stuckat 45mph then doesn't move all of a sudden it jumps up to the correct speed(MPH).. it doesnt happen all the time but its still weird!!!

 

its the only plug on top of your tranny that has wires running to it. thats it ok

 

Can i see it thru the engine compartment ???


Is there any possible way it has gotten dirty and could just be cleaned ???

 

ya open your hood look down on top of your trans, youll need a wrench to remove it, they typically just go out, my girls speedo did it once, we were going down the interstart like 75 mph, the the neddles shot to like 130 lol, like a hit some pretend NOS....lol
and more then likey youll have to replace it

 

It's circled. For reference, the left side of the pic is the side closest to the windshield and the right side is closest to the front bumper.
