Maxima 91 speedometer

How can I diagnose the speedometer failure? Some times the instrument indicates the speed and the major time dont. I most replace the sensor or the cluster?



Nirav, You care to answer this one.

If this person did a search of this newsgroup he would find his answer quite easily

Considering that English appears to be this person's second language, they may not be as nuanced in the ways of Google.

Perhaps you could just answer his question?

Thanks Niss,

Most likely the sensor is not fully seated in the transmission housing. Look for a sensor with 2 wires coming out of it (going to the harness)- it will have a round plastic cap. Use a piece of wood or something soft to help you reseat the sensor. That should fix your problem. If the problem persists, then you might need to diagnose further.

Thanks. I reseat the sensor with a piece of wood and my problem is solved. I have also the cruise control working again.
