Question

How can I repair a non-functioning speedometer on my recently purchased used car?

Answer 1

You should take it back to the place you bought it...or take it to a ford dealer. I just bought a mercury sable and there is a little problem so I'm taking it to a Ford dealer. Since it's their brand of car they know more about fixing it.

Answer 2

Gotta buy a Chilton's manual. It's worth having around anyway... It's better than taking the advice of some random person here.

Answer 3

Do only 1 thing. Take the car or the speedometer to put into the garbage.

Answer 4

I'd safley bet it's your speed sensor

Answer 5

A speedometer is a tricky thing to remove/repair and even more difficult to replace. It's possible and even likely that the person you bought it from attempted to tamper with the milage on the odometer and in doing so failed to put the unit back together properly. Beware

Answer 6

Try the speed sensor. If not then take to a shop.
