Speedo Issues

OK well i got the speedo from Packie88. ah...screw it i'm not going into the whole deal.

 

But i got the speedo cable installed, cluster put back into place and everything hooked up.

 

I take it for a test run to make sure it works and sure enough it does...YAY.

Then i look again...grr...it won't go back down. It just stays at the highest MPH i got too.

 

Any ideas of wtf is going on now?

 

*note....i just thought of this. I didn't use the cluster he sent me, his must be an manual tranny, mine auto. Anyway, i took the needle off "his" and put it on mine. I'm guessing this could be part of the problem also? IDK...just seem like the speedo cable doesn't do backwards.

Are you talking about where the speedo and speedo cable connect? If so it's a VERY high possibility. I'll have to check that tomorrow when i get home from work.

 

Thanks

 

Just wondering, would it go up and not come back down if this was the problem?

It is touching the face but it goes up without any problem. And i tap on the cluster or bang on the dash it goes back down. Like i said i'll try to see if they are aligned and then let ya know if that was the problem. Hope it stops raining :(

ok well this is what i just found out.

 

THe speedo goes up. Doesn't come back down. But when i put it in reverse it does......so wtf does that mean? lol

It's always something with this truck. :ar15:

It really sounds like the needle is binding against the gauge's face.

 

There was a discussion about this in http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18369

ok idk. I'm really thinking about gathering my car and the pathy up this weekend and trading them in. I'm just sick of all the lil stupid @!*%. One thing after another. Not saying that i won't have that with another vehicle but at least i'll have a more solid base. IDK yet, we'll see how the dice fall.

 

Basically(sry for the rant), the cluster won't work at all now. I tried putting a straw around the needle and nothing. Took it off now it won't work at all. Pulled the cluster apart(which was prolly a mistake, but too late) checked out everything, looked fine. Put it all back together and still nothing.

 

Im just overall frustrated.

Fixed. Took some time to sit back and breath. Got everything lined up, took a lighter and got the needle to bend back a bit and the damn thing is working fine now.

 

Thanks to all who put there input in :)
