- Repairing the Speedometer on my 1996 Tacoma. The speedometer on my truck was reading faster than the truck was going, so I decided to take it apart to see if I could fix it.
This is my first video of a car repair, so it is a little long since I don't have video editing software yet. I subscribe to some other tuber's who make car repair videos, and I have learned a lot from them, so I decided to start making some of my own. Hopefully someone will benefit from this info.
I'm having that exact problem with my speedometer
Thanks man! Mine was reading way low with the needle well below the zero and making a TERRIBLE noise when it was cold. I took everything apart as shown here, cleaned the old dried up grease and lubed everything up with ATF. All is good now!
Great job to this explanation. Very easy to understand. Thanks for your time!!
Thanks for the video....you did a good job. Gonna try this on my Land Cruiser
@MotoXYZ450f The Speed sensor is actually part of the gauge cluster, its the white plastic part the cable connects to. The speed sensor sends a signal to the ECU to tell the computer how fast the truck is moving. I would also suggest buying, or borrowing from a friend, a scan tool that can show live data. This will let you know if the computer is getting a speed signal or not and can really help pinpoint where in the system the problem is.
Nice video. My question is did you lubricate the speedometer cable when you had the cluster out? Mine makes noise when it's cold and I'm hoping I can just spray something down the inside of the cable from the top that will loosen it up again. Not sure what kind of lubricant I should use, something light viscosity like WD 40 or silicone, or something a bit more tacky that will stick to the inside of the cable sheath better? Also, did it look like there was enough space to spray something down the cable or is it sealed at the top? Thanks in advance! Mark
Mark R what kind of noise ,a popping sound?
was it hard to get the speedometer cable back into the speedo I read it was very difficult. was it for you thanks.
