I have a 96 civic that i love!! but about 2 weeks ago my speedometer just stopped working...and it will work again for a little bit then stop again!....has n e one had this problem?? and can u let me know what i can do to fix it?? Thanx in advance!

 

it could be the wiring or the gage clouster try goin to a junkyard and get the clouster and see if that works if not its the wiring

 

I know this is an old post but no use in creating a new one . I wanted to get advice on what you guys thought the issue is on my speedometer. When I start the car it sits at 20mph, and typically will not move from there unless I climb a hill, roll down my windows (only sometimes), turn on my A/C, or press in on my trip mileage resett button (and that doesn't even work now). So do you think its wiring or mechanical. I'm not the type to ask but its a difference of acouple hundered dollars.

Thanks in advance for your input,

try checking the speed sensor. remove it and check for breaks or damaged teeth on the gear. located on the back of the top of the tranny passenger side one bold holds down the whole assembly. start with just checking the connection

 

here is a photo i found on the web i hope it helps. you may just need to dissassemble it and clean the contacts inside. i had a similar problem and that solved it. hope it helps
