98 saturn sl speedometer or odometer doesn't work

What causes them to go out or what runs them

think its a electronic one running off a sensor on the output shaft on the transmission, usually its the sensor or a dirty connection on the plug to the sensor but it could also be the tach in the dash

Cool thanks I'll check it out they haven't worked for over 4 years and almost got a ticket last night and that ain't the first time

It also has problems shifting shifts really hard expecially in overdrive

Do you know what it is called by chance

it should look like this

and it might be why tranny is acting up

Yep found it going to get it now thanks again I can work on cars it's just this new electronic stuff gets me sometimes

Now on that 97 saturn sl how do you get them manual windows back on track

And it was a 97 Whoops

I'm just wondering if you have to take the outer skin off the door

usually the inner door panel but not 100% sure
