Speedometer not working

[OneBigClam]

2005 Miata. How much of a pain in the ass is this going to be to fix?

Seems to be common on the car.

• Vehicle Speed Sensor
• Speedo in the cluster
• Electrical wiring

It shouldn't be that hard to fix. The hardest would be crawling underneath and working around the axle and clusters to fix the wiring it seems. A day's task.

I need to fix the cluster in the RR, no tach, speedo, or gauges work lol.

I just use my phone and a GPS Speedometer App to gauge my speed. It is pretty accurate. I would get the app to help gauge speed until you fix it.

Funny thing is, the tach and the other gauges work fine. The speedometer and odometer were working last fall when I took it off the road for the winter, but now they are dead. Apparently something deteriorated on its own just sitting there.

Yeah, I don't have ramps or a pit in the garage, and the car only clears 4".

I'm not familiar with the car and since help has already arrived, My two cents.

Get car cramps at Wal-mart for pretty damn cheap to be honest.
My trucks tires are very wide so it's harder for me, but car-sized ramps $10-$20 for 4-6" of lift.
