check your fuses but if it isn't one go straight to your mechanic. If you don't have one i recommend going to Unique Auto Sports in Castle hill they'll look after you. i haven't heard of this before so it sounds really strange.

have you had any electrical work done to your car recently?

There's a place in Sydney that specialises in fixing up OEM speedos and tachos. If you want a contact, I can find out for you.

Let me know.

Did you recently add aftermarket dials or something like that?

Hey FTO2sxy,
How did you go with the speedo problem??
My speedo just stopped working :x
Anybody have any ideas? I've taken out the dash pod,cleaned the connectors,checked for blown fuses, but no luck. Just had a immobiliser fitted a week ago,could that have anything to do with it?
