well my temp gauge issue seems to have subsided and given way to a new one: the speedo isn't working.
here's my situation: i noticed as soon as driving today the speedo wasn't working. stopped and started twice, no dice. then tried the cluster test 5 consecutive times and it successfully moved the speedo all the way to 160. then i drove again, yet still not working. then stopped and started driving again. speedo then worked intermittently for approx 30 secs, then stopped. since then, started and driven twice and no dice.
so now my plan is to take the cluster out, then remove and reinsert the needle and re-calibrate it. hopefully that will do something. i say this because recently i changed the gauge faces so i'm thinking maybe when i put the needle back in the first time i goofed it.
also, i recently had both passenger side wheels removed to be refinished and straightened. this was done approx 2 months ago, but this speedo issue just started today.
i've done a brief googling and found people have had issues with the speed sensors in the back wheels, however this usually brings up ABS/DSC lights, which i don't have. additionally, the tach, fuel level and temp level gauges also are functioning.
any other ideas?
