Broken Speedometer

[louisherndon1943]

I apologize for wasting band width if this has been discussed before but, a search of the Tahoe forum, came back with no hits. My speedometer suddently (no jerks, no sound, no nothing) went crazy while on an extended trip. I noticed it registering around 90 when I was not going over 70. As I continued to watch it, it gradually crept to up over 120!! My odometer is working fine and my cruise control is working well. What happened and how do I fix it?

what matters is what year is this vehicle 2005 ? if so you have bad dash step motors.

the speedometer signal comes from the tranny. if this were bad the abs light would be on and odo would not work .

I actually fixed a Honda Speedometer with a magnet and just bring the pointer to 0MPH!
