ScottVan Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I have a 98 OBS that has a strange speedo problem. On most days it will register fine, upt to 60 - 65 mph then all the way down to 0. Other days, temp independent, it will stick at 40 on the way up. Is there a root cause for this? Older car, rugged, but not wanting to be driven by wife due to inability to see how fast she is going. Yes, I suggested driving as fast as everyone else just to be sure - did not work as a solution.... Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Usually it's a bad cluster. Sometimes it's a VSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Any CEL ? Could be you alread have one bad VSS and the other dying. Could be a bad ground in the cluster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottVan Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 CEL is on. I'm going to get a scanner next week as my 07 Suzuki SX4 is giving me CEL every so often. Thanks! Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT95 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Lazy man ignore-it fix is to just stick a Wal-Mart GPS on the dash and use it for a speedo for the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
