Instrument Panel Question
I have a 91 RS Camaro w/ a 305. Recently the odometer, tachometer and speedometer stopped working. All the other guages like temp and fuel still work. None of the guages are digital.
I took the instrument panel out just to check that the circut board board connections where all clean and they were. My questions are: 1. Does anyone know where the speed sensor is located? Is this easy to replace and is this most likely the problem? 2. Am I correct to assume that a speedometer gear w/ a cable does not exist because the instrument panel is a circut board? 3. Does this sound like the instrument panel itself is broken? 4. Any other ideas? Appreciate any help, and thanks in advance. |

Re: Instrument Panel Question
if the speedometer stops working, the odometer will stop working because the odometer calculates the distance based of what the speedo says. it depends on the speedo.
i dont know why your tach would stop working. it gets its reading from a single wire connection to the distributor. (i think its a yellow wire). the speed sensor is located at the rear, driver side of the transmission (most of the time), right ahead of the driveshaft. it will probably have a wire coming from it and one bolt holding it in. it's very easy to remove and not an expensive part. (when u remove it, if the plastic gear looks fine, the sensor is probably fine). sounds like a problem with the gauges to me. maybe get another gauge panel of eBay, try it and see what happens.
