Hey my speedo isnt working, and my cluster isnt lighting up, when i drive for about 5 mins my engine light comes on, but when i turn the car off and turn it back on the light goes off then comes back after a few mins of driving ,im assuming this is cuz the speedo isnt reading? :S i could be wrong, but i cant find the fuse for that if we have one, does anyone know where it could be? i probably over looked it
its on a 93 tegg any help would be great!!

 

bad vss on tranny

 

93s are mechanical, unless you changed your tranny. But check that the speedo is plugged in securely to your tranny.. Maybe even pull it out and make sure it didn't break inside.

 

The check engine light is due to speedo cable. Check if the cable is secure on the transmission and pluged in good in the cluster.
I had the same problem.

 

check the cable and the VSS. if you pull back the carpet on the passenger floor, your ecu should blink 1 long 7 short that's a code 17 - vehicle speed sensor.

the VSS is a pretty straight forward part to replace, it's 1 10mm bolt. getting at it is a little trickier.

 

my speedometer lags sometimes more when i rip it yesterday i was gunning it down mavis and the speedo got stuck on 40 while i was punching the gas hard when i let go of the gas a little bit it jumped right to 80 85 i find it weird and i replaced the speedo cable with a new dealer one less than a yr ago before last year my cluster sounded like birds on crack pure chirping and squeeking took me a while to learn it was the cable

 

Yeah mine lags now too both accelerating and slowing down. Sounds like this is a common Teggy issue so I'd start the hunt with the VSS and cable too.

 

the cluster in my beater sound like canarys on crack too. i just turn up the radio

 

I pulled the vss out of the tranny and put it back it, looks fine to me, but i may have unplugged my cluster, but i cant get to the back of my cluster to check cuz i cant get the trim off infront of it, on my dash i get everything to pop off except around the ***** for my fan speed and temp. :S

 

pull the **** rings off and that plate showing the fan speed and temp pops out. there's 2 screws under there and then at the far right there's a little cover. that pops off and there's another screw under there. once to get that panel off there's 2 screws at the top of the cluster take those out too. it's a real pain in the *** to reconnect it. there's no slack in the cable you pretty much have to reach back there by going through where your left dash vent would be and do it by feel. if you disconnect the cable at the VSS it'll be easier to do but in almost every case you'll loss the clip that holds the cable in to the VSS.

yes i've done this a few times. i hope you have skinny arms

 

I can get it all off except around this part, i take the ***** off but i have no idea where there would be a screw? :S

 

that plate comes off. gotta get something in there like a small pick to pull it off.

 

SWEETT!!! thank you so much!! my vss was unplugged from the cluster, works perfect now, but i have one more tiny problem, lol my clust still wont light up, and my pillar gauges i assume are hooked up to the cluster lights cuz they wont light up either buy they all work? :S

 

check fuses?

 

Iv check all the fuses under the hood and under the dash on the left side, and iv rechecked them, im so lost

 

see if all the bulbs are burnt out.

 

this is happen to me too i think lol. when i am driving i am hearing some squeeking behind the steering wheel.

 

Okay so i think i found out my problem...i think, well theres a fuse box under the hood, theres a 50amp fuse in there thats for "lights" duno what lights but its blown didnt notice it at first cuz its just a really small peice, so im going to acura today to get more, but i got another problem, i unhooked my ground cable from my battery cuz my power cable is hard to get at cuz of my intake, so now everytime i try to put on my ground cable it trys to melt its self to the battery post, :S its never done that b4

 

Do you have the battery the right way :P

 

Yeah lol

 

but my 50 amp battery fuse blew when i tried to hook it up, and if it touch the connector with the pole a couple times it goes on fine :S

 

my negative wire melted, but thats because I had a wrong starter in there.

Change any blown fuse in ur fuse box under ur hood.
