    Speedometer has cruded out i think. It will not do a thing. I used to be able to flick it, and it would work again. It completely stopped right when it started raining like hell down here in SD.:mad: Any ideas on where to start?

    Mine does something similar. Every so often (it's not regular, or at least I don't see a pattern) the speedo won't work when I first start but it will engage after some time. I'm just glad I have my GPS so at least I know my speed.

    speedo issue

    i had a similar problem, it did not work till i reach 40KMPH and after that works ok. got it dismantled and checked by a shop to find out some loose soldering on the back of the PCB. re soldered and now ok.

    Mine makes a buzzing like noise when weather is cold. I think it is the cable.

    if you haven't already I would swap the entire cluster for an sr5 cluster.

    Re solider new parts in. Look around for other post on you tube. Found one that replaced more parts. If I find it again I will post it.
