Speedometer stuck at full speed!

TRXrider400 · December 29th, 2011, 03:14 PM

I just pulled my car out of my garage this morning, and when i came back to it i noticed my speedometer was stuck at 120. I did some research and came up with disconnecting my battery and letting it sit for a while. If that doesn't work, could it be the gauge, or a sensor or something?

is it at 120 when it's running or not running? if it's on all the time try the battery trick....if not then pop the cluster out and see if the needle is just stuck

^ Agreed, i have reverse glow overlays and my needles would stick because i didnt put double sided tape on them the first time i installed them

its a pain to reset them if they get stuck of if you change gauge overlays/

He said when he pulled out and came back to the garage, so I'm assuming parked / idling.
