Yesterday i was driving my G, and my speedometer just fell to zero, i stopped turned off my car then stared again and tried to drive it, but it still doesnt work, does anyone know what might be the problem?

 

Do the other gauges still work?

Do you have the "Slip" "VDC" and "ABS" lights? If so check your ABS fuse behind the battery.

 

all the other guages work, and i do have the slip,vdc,abs lights, thanks i will go check the fuse right now.

 

I have heard that after breaking the speed of light, even the speedometer of the powerful G35 sedan will experience failure.... and i broke mine a long time ago.......












all jokes aside, take it to the dealership. Might be a short of some sort in the wiring or sensor or something....Have a friend drive in front of you so you dont accident drive "too fast" since you wont know how fast you are going.

 

I just went and looked at the fuse and its not burned, but anyways i changed it, but the speedometer still doesnt work.

 

Do you remember what did you do to fix it?

 

wheel sensors maybe ??

 

Could be a speed sensor...What year and how many miles?

 

Where is the wheel sensor located?

 

its an 2003 and it has 46,000 miles

 

Ok...My best bet is the speed sensor...Reason is if the ECU doesn't get a speed reading it will light up everything that is affected. Hence, you VCD etc...If you can pull or find a service manual and find out where it is then you can check to see if the wire has be chewed off or if there's anything wrong with it. Reason for that is because sometimes we get mice that chew on wires and damage that wire. It's very rare to have the dash unit go out but it would be my last choice to test...

 

Ok thanks i will try to find out where it is.

 

Were you driving in the rain at all in the 24 hours prior to this happening?

 

its goign to be somewhere under the car near the wheels i believe, and i was joking about my speedo going out, it was part of me going past the speed of light.

 

ok guys i fixed the problem, the plug in the rear on the top of the differential was unplugged, dont know how it unplugged but it did. Thanks for the help everyone.
