Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 20072001 Honda Civic issues 1) Front End Clicking 2) Speedometer erratic 3) Corrosion on uncarriage
I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many of the same issues that you have been talking about here... any advice on whether to go with that price or go somewhere else for a quote? -bryan > I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the > speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -bryan =================================== Could you please start at the beginning and tell us the whole story? Thanks. We don't know what you've read so far. 'Curly' > > I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the > > speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > 'Curly' ================================= Thanks for your reply... the speedometer and tachometer and radio were acting up in my honda civic 2001. i thought they may be all interrelated, but apparently, by resetting the radio, that was ok. the shop diagnosed my speedometer (intermittently not working) and said that they "reset the cluster". they assumed it would fix it. the next day it was not working again. reading "0" when i am going like "60". occasionally it does start working, but now, for the most part, it doesnt. i was quoted $515.00 to have the speedometer cluster replaced....does that sound right? should i go somewhere else? thanks for your help -bryan > > > I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the > > > speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Does your tachometer not work at the same time that your speedometer does not work? Does your check engine light come on? You potentially have a vehicle speed sensor that is going bad if either of these situations occurr,but if the tach is reading OK and you have no check engine light the diagnosis of a bad speedometer cluster is probably good. It is possible to disassemble the dash and have the cluster sent out and repaired yourself but it is a LOT of work. If you are having it done, depending on where you are located and who is doing the work $ 515 is not out of range. For that kind of money I would have someone else you trust give you a quote to verify diagnosis and price. >>> I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the >>> speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > thanks for your help > -bryan first things first - verify the diagnosis. take it to a different dealer and explain that you want a second opinion. have them confirm whether it's the speed sensor. you may also have a faulty earth connection - that will not require cluster replacement. > first things first - verify the diagnosis. take it to a different > dealer and explain that you want a second opinion. have them confirm > whether it's the speed sensor. you may also have a faulty earth > connection - that will not require cluster replacement. --------------------------------- I think his chances are better here than at most of the dealer we hear about . . . :-( 'Curly' >> first things first - verify the diagnosis. take it to a different >> dealer and explain that you want a second opinion. have them confirm [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > 'Curly' maybe, but pretty much by definition, we'll never hear about the good ones. > >> first things first - verify the diagnosis. take it to a different > >> dealer and explain that you want a second opinion. have them confirm [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > maybe, but pretty much by definition, we'll never hear about the good ones. Guys...thanks for your help. the tach has occasionally acted up and read either "0" when i was driving pretty fast, or rested at a high position when the car was shut off...and that was actually where the problem started...but since it has migrated to the speedometer and has stayed there. i will have it looked at by another garage and see what they think. i appreciate your feedback! -bryan >>>> first things first - verify the diagnosis. take it to a different >>>> dealer and explain that you want a second opinion. have them confirm [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > -bryan i have encountered one truly defective tach, but only one. in that case, the only remedy was replacement. but others are usually just bad connections that behave when cleaned and remade. It may be the speed sensor or solder joints crack on the circuit board inside the cluster. You can disassembly the cluster to re-solder all the joints if this is the cause. >> > I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the >> > speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > thanks for your help > -bryan could be a bad vss head over the the honda 01+ section for some help  SignatureBrodyP http://www.automotiveforums.com |
