thank you for the advise. Mine is automatic and it does have the electrical sensor; is there a way to check its proper function? that is for the sensor and the speedo itself?


Ok I am not sure about the wiring on you model but I believe grounding the signal wire at the speed sensor would cause your speedo to peg at full speed thus telling you that everything from the sensor to the speedo is ok. (key on for this test)

You could also use a volt/ohm meter and measure the resistance at the sensor as someone speeds the vehicle up. On jackstands of course (not the prefered method).

Someone with better knowledge of your vehicle can probably tell you which wire to use at the speed sensor to "fool" the speedo into moving.
