luvmyglock Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have been having an issue with my speedometer. It will work wonderfully about half of the time...the other half it rests at 0. Sometimes the issue will fix itself in the middle of driving it, and it will just magically start working again. This does not effect the odometer. I've got a 1989 Jeep Comanche Eliminator. Thanks!

MJRemi Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Two places to check first are the both ends of the cable. I've experienced a broken connection at the back of the cluster and also a loose connection at the transmission. If you need slack to pull the cluster, there is a hold-down on the cable about half way between trans and firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 :agree: I bet the clip on the cluster side it busted, 24 years will do that to plastic :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyav8r Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 By does not effect the odometer, do you mean the odometer keeps registering miles when the speedometer is not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmyglock Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 By does not effect the odometer, do you mean the odometer keeps registering miles when the speedometer is not working? Correct. Odometer registers miles when the speed is not functioning. Verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjgilley Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 sounds like your speedometer its self is going out time to replace your cluster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah, if the odometer is working, the cable and drive gear at the lower end are okay. The problem has to be in the speedo head itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmyglock Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sounds like we have a consensus. I'll disassemble and examine the components. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
