Speedometer

My speedometer works fine when I first take off, but after driving for about 10 minutes it stops. Almost like it gets warm or hot then stops. If I let the jeep sit for a while and start out again all is fine for about another 10 minutes, then it stops again. Has anyone else had this problem or got any advice?

 

I had the same problem. I replaced mine. I am not happy with the Indian made replication. These folks can fix it http://www.speedometershop.com/. The quoted me something like $ 120 to completely rework and calibrate mine. (a year ago)

 

Thanks for the link, I'll give them a call.

 

before you replace it, remove it from the dash, there is a small hole at the base of where the cable attaches to the back of the case. it is for lubrication. put a drop or two of medium weight oil in it and work it a bit back and forth. return it to the dash and see if that helps. $.02

 

you might need to lube the cable as well.

 

I am having a similiar problem and most people have suggestion the lubrication...let us know if this works!!

 

Check to see that the speedo cable is not broken. It may jam together some of the time then work apart etc.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try and lube both the cable and the unit tonight. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again for the help,.
