Attachment 140356

This weekend I painted my gauge surrounds and I guess I knocked my speedometer off its normal track because its about 20 mph slow now. I took everything back off, readjusted to zero, then go out this morning and its doing the same thing. Any ideas of how to fix?

 

Not sure if it's a mechanical fix or a software fix. If you want to verify your instrument panel meters, lights, and vacuum flourescent displays are working put the key in the ignition, press and hold the trip button, turn the key to on but don't start, you can release the trip button once the self test begins. This will do an instrument panel check and you'll see if the meters swing the full range.

post #5 of the following thread is where I sourced the self test procedure from.

I also just painted mine and the speedo doesn't work. Hope I take it apart and find something unplugged. But if not, I'll try that instrument check. Did you knock or push yours somehow?

 

I think I bumped into it at some point, luckily mine still works, its just off.

 

I tried this, and it's still off, I think I just knocked it off its correct setting, not sure if I'll have to replace something or not. It's not under warranty since I'm the second owner and I sure don't want to take it to the dealer.

 

i was going to ask how to do this...
as i was thinking of painting mine...
might not bother now...call me chcken...

 

The basic three year/36K mile warranty should cover a second owner. And the lifetime warranty wouldn't include the speedometer. Of course, if your mod caused the malfunction ...
