I washed my car yesterday because it was nice and warm,
and after washing it i noticed that the speedometer stopped working, it just sits and reds 0 MPH all the time, the rest of the gauges work perfectly, and i have checked my wires that go to the speed sensor on the outside top side of the gearbox, even cleaned the contacts to see if that was it, still nothing. has anybody had this problem before? --------------------  1994 GT Hatchback 1994 ST Coupe 1988 Corolla Wagon All-Trac 1999 Corvette 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo |

I've been screwing around with mine for some time. Harness shorted at back of instrument cluster. Instrument cluster needs replacing and I still haven't found the male connector I need. Toyota dealer will sell me nothing less than the ENTIRE dash wire harness. Hope your solution is easier. The only way to access unit is by dropping steering column.

Do you have overlay gauges on your cluster? If you dont glue them down correctly they can kill your cluster.

Start jiggling the wires behind your gauges(i think the one for the speedo is in the connector to the far left if you are looking at your gauges from the front) one by one. You'll find out which one it is, then whallah, do some fixin.

Fuse? i'm not in my pannel right now, but i used to have an old cougar that did that, and it actualy had a fuse go out. It was connected to that and a few other system items... Maybe.
