speedometer works half ass
i have a 1990 chevy 2500 and the speedometer works half the time. it seems to work fine untill i am driving for about 10 minutes at highway speeds, then it drops to zero. sometimes it is not working for a few minutes and will start working again. other times it stays at the zero mark till i shut the truck off and let it sit for a while. then it goes thru the same routine after starting. seems to work find around town and at lower speeds.

Re: speedometer works half ass
Mine is doing something simular. I'm finding at lower speeds its about 7-9mph slower. Then at High speed 65-70 its about 12mph slower does anyone know where to sensor is located so we can read the voltage?

Re: speedometer works half ass

Re: speedometer works half ass
Take a close look at the I/P cluster contact fingers:
 And the mating contacts in the dash.
