Speedometer problem (weird)
I have a 96 accord LX... (276 000 km..sort of)
Yesterday, the speedometer went haywire. It seems to stick on 28 km/h. When you slow down to stop, it kind of bounces, but doesn't go to 0.When you turn off the ignition, it goes to 0?? Sometimes, it seems to work fine.. and then goes haywire again.. Does anyone here know what the cause may be???? BD |

Re: Speedometer problem (weird)
Search a bit on line and you'll find more info, especially the VSS (Vehicle
Speed Sensor) and/or speedometer. Quite expensive to replace. I ended up buying a nice gps with mounting system instead for less (previous 95 accord). Car is now sold, gps still with me:-) P.S. Gps is more accurate than speedometer..
