99 outback Speedo goes in and out.


Recommended Posts

I have a 99 outback with what seems like an electrical problem. The speedo goes out and comes back on for no reason.

 

Sometimes it goes out when I touch the brake. Sometimes when I reengage the cruise. sometimes it just goes out. And most of the time it comes back on by itself when I do nothing.

 

I have checked the fuses. What else can I check?

Pull the gauge cluster and remove the speedo mounting screws one at a time, clean the contact area then put the screw back in. The mounting screws are the contacts for this speedo.

 

If that does not do it, it could be the Speed sensor or if needed I do have a complete gauge cluster with a good speedo.

OK, I'll try that. Thanks
