So amid our various trials the speed senson got disconnected and the car was driven, resulting in the check engine light coming on. We plugged it back in and took it to schucks and had the code check diagnos the problem. Schucks tells me I either have a bad cluster, speed sensor or wiring (something i learned today free electronics diagnosis at schucks could prove quite helpful in the future). Anyways does anyone know how to reset the check engine light because i am quite sure we fixed the problem and the light just remains on. Thanks for all the help

I tried a third speedometer cluster today which suprise suprise did not work. We are going to attempt to run a new wire from the sensor to the cluster, we are still in that process but I will keep everyone posted. I am beggining to lose all faith in subaru wiring, today my radar detector quit working in my subaru only, it works in all the other cars cigarette lighters. The funny part is everything else i have that works off the cigarette lighter works fine in the subaru. This car has been nothing but a headache...

I havent had any transmission problems the only work done so far has been the addition of cruise control and a new clutch and flywheel.

I have a 1999 subaru legacy wagon brighton edition. The probelm is the speedometer only works when it wants to, going on and off at will with no real pattern to its madness. The only thing that seems to work occasionally is to press the trip odometer reset a few times and sometimes the speedometer will start working again. In attempting to fix the problem we have replaced the sending unit (attached to the transmission and sends the signal to the dash unit), that did not work. We then replaced the entire gauge cluster including the speedometer, this did not work. We checked the continuity of the wire running from the sending unit to the speedometer and it was fine, obviously the speedometer still didnt work... Has anyone else had this problem or maybe just have any idea as to what the problem could be?
