Default speed and odometer don't work. also lost electrical power to components.

How do I fix it? I know there is a gear behind the needle. Is it possible that it popped out of the bracket? How do I remove the display? Must I remove the whole dash board? Do i replace the VSS??? HELP!


I just realized my clock stopped working (doesn't light up) also my electronic mirrors don't move.

Are the wiring system for these components located behind the stereo? Its weird that my spedometer, odometer, mirrors, dome light (located on the rear view mirror) and clock all failed at the same time. oh and my trunk light went out as well. Fuses are fine not blown.

Could of a sign on a failing alternator as well. Take it to a place like pep boys or sears and have them perform an electrical and ingition test on it.

I solved the problem. Thanks though. I felt really stupid. I overlooked ONE damn fuse. Lol I was breaking my head all day to only end in changing the fuse.

Really quick though, I see more oil/coolant in the resivoire. Where should I stick the hose to flush out all the bad coolant; through the thermostat housing? Through the resivoire? Through the bottom hose?
