Speedometer occasionally wont work   Printable Version Volkswagen Forums >> VW MODELS >> Volkswagen Cabrio >> Speedometer occasionally wont work Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Speedometer occasionally wont work - 11/19/2007 12:11:59 PM    sgtsbud   Posts: 1 Joined: 11/19/2007 Status: offline I have a 97 cabrio with almost 100K miles on it. Sometimes when you start the car the Tachometer and Speedometer wont work. Shut it off, let it sit for a few minutes and it will start back. Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a fix for it? Thanks Post #: 1 RE: Speedometer occasionally wont work - 12/1/2007 5:12:05 PM    Smokin Dog Posts: 286 Joined: 10/25/2007 Status: offline    Can't say this is a fix for your VW, however I had one that did almost like yours, what I did was remove the speedo and tach cluster, they work on electrical wiring, then I cleaned all the connections and then found a ground wire that had worked loose and was just barely making contact, repaired the ground at the dash and it worked after that.        GOOD LUCK (in reply to sgtsbud) Post #: 2 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
