My Speedo Stopped Working

[Kamikazeklr]

Hey guys, new here.

Bought an R33 a couple of months ago and the Speedo has recently stopped working. I put another cluster in and it didn't solve the problem. From what I've read on here it looks like the wires need re soldered into the back of the plug?

Was just wondering if there is anyone in the Perth/Mandurah area who would be able to help me out with this as I'm not good with wires and will probably screw it up. I can bring the car to you and you would be paid in currency or beers, which ever you prefer :] thanks.

Is it possible that the speedo sensor on the gearbox is broken? You seem convinced its a cluster issue, but have you done anything to prove its at that end?

I'm not sure to be honest, I figured it was at the speedo end because it worked intermittently for a while when I would bang the dash then eventually stopped working all together. Is the sensor on the gearbox breaking a common fault?

My guess is that it would be speedo sensor.

[Kamikazeklr]

Ok, will give that a try. If anyone has a spare one lying around, let me know :]

If that doesn't work then you know its a lose solder some where some times it takes a bit of trial and erro but you will get there in the end.

my bet would be dry solder, but as said, easier to check the other end first.

Yeh, thanks guys. Will be a couple of weeks before the sensor gets delivered but I will update with the outcome when I get it fitted.
