sensorseeker Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I have a 1999 forester that the speedometer, odometer and cruise control are not working. Manual transmission, speed dial not moving, millage and trip meter display frozen numbers and cruse not functioning. All happened suddenly. What are the potential causes? solutions?

MilesFox Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There is a speedo sensor where a cable would be on the trans. It will be on the passenger side of the trans opposite the dipstick. See if it came unplugged or broke off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensorseeker Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Not fully clear on the location of sensor, after looking at schematics though, i checked all connections in area and nothing looks loose or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Bad speed sensor or the plastic gear that drives the sensor could have stripped. There were a few years where the gears for the sensor had a problem, I think 99 was the main one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
