Sometimes my speedometer does not work whilst im driving my 51 reg focus? anybody else have this problem?
Answers:
loose speedo cable or speedo sensor on the way out :D#
best way to check the cable is to see if it is tight or nto, it is located at the top of the gearbox and is a thick black armoured cable that runs from the gearbox into the bulkhead, if it is tight that end it could be loose the dials end, which in that case just bring it to ford and let us do it!!lol its a complicated and akward job.
My speedo went on my BMW the other day and I had to have a new speed sensor. Not sure if it will be the same thing.
try going forward
No, take it to a garage
Oh look out Sammy
i have the same problem,,, now my problem is ,,, how do i pay all these SPEEDING TICKETS,,,, pls fix it
not me, i've never driven your car!
when that happens i turn the radio up
probably the speed sensor fitted in the place of the old type speedo cable as all newer cars are now fitted with drive by wire either that or the printed circuit board on the back of the clocks you could try your local dealer to see if they have heard of the fault before and what the likely solution is thanks mister_mechanic
yeah its a bit of a problem wit de focus. my buddy has that problem wit his, he jus guesses wat speed he is goin!!!!!! its a bit pricey to get fixed so leave it if you can judge wat speed you are goin other wise get it fixed otherwise the speeding tickets will add up to that amount anyways
Dunno what you mean by 51 reg Focus.. But in the states, some years had problems with the gauges where all of the needles would go to zero while going down the highway and that leads to cluster replacement
My speedometer cut out on the Focus i used to have, it then, more often than not, used to cut the engine out too as i was driving along! The speed sensor in the gearbox needed replacing. It took a main Ford dealer six attempts to find the problem! The sensor was changed under FordProtect warranty. Good luck.
Hi, check to see if the mileometer works when speedo stops, if both stop working most common fault is the sensor on the top of the gearbox.
