How to fix a Chrysler speedometer
Комедия
Hello you tube Colin here, I am going to walk you through fixing your speedometer in your Dodge, Chrysler or ram Van. I was driving through a construction zone, slowed down to what felt like 25 MPH and looked down in horror to see that my speedometer was spun all the way around and stuck under the pin the the needle rests on when the car is off or not moving. As you could guess it was a WTF moment. I drove all day worrying would get a ticket... Back to the steps to take to fix it. Or what to do before you go to a dealer.
WARNING THIS MAY CLEAR YOUR TRIP ODOMETER AND MAY NOT FIX YOUR PROBLEM CONSULT YOUR OWNERS MANUAL AND MAKE SURE OF THE MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL OF VAN THAT YOU HAVE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE PRIOR OR AFTER THIS PROCEDURE IS DONE.
Step 1. Get in the vehicle close the door Turn on you ignition
Step 2. Note your trip odometer mileage be sure to write this down remember that you can deduct mileage you drive on taxes (depending on local, state and federal laws where you live)
Step 3. This one is very important it is the most important step of them all press the button that resets the trip mileage so it displays the Total mileage on the vehicle.
Step 4. Turn off the vehicle and take the key out of your ignition
Step 5. Your almost done press and hold the trip odometer reset button until it displays a code let go and let the calibration Finnish I tested the fix today it does work. Don't worry when you see all of the lights flashing and the needles moving through our the cluster. Do not open the door while this is in progress I don't know if it will effect it

This worked perfectly on my 2001 town and country. I simply followed your written directions. Saved me hundreds of dollars my mechanic wanted to take apart dash. You are awesome. Thanks so much for posting.
SEVEN YEARS LATER AND YOURE STILL A HUGE HELP! THANK YOU!

jeweledthrone 2 hahah I can’t believe this is still helping people, glad it helped you too!
What more can I say. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Just had the van pass inspection yesterday drove home all was well. This morning the speedometer was not working. Worried while driving about getting a speeding ticket. My mechanic just started vacation, auto parts store implied it was likely a fuse, owners manual no help. God bless you!

+Garret Traylor You are so very welcome. I am so happy to know this helped you. Here is yo many more years of driving such a great car!
Just tried it on My 2002 Town and Country and it Worked!!! Thanks for the Vid.
OMG!!! This was so easy. My mechanic was ready to charge me $400 to $500 to repair my speedometer. Tried this on my 2001 Chrysler Town & Country and after a couple of attempts it worked exactly as you said. Plus, I did not lose the odometer mileage. It zeroed out, but came back to correct number. You saved me a ton of money on such an easy fix. Thank you!!!

Your welcome. I am glad I could help. It is ridiculous that a mechanic would not be willing to show how to try this first.
You are the man! It fixed my 2004 PT Cruiser. Thanks a lot for this upload!
Very well done you saved me a big headache I was thinking that I would have to take the cluster out and turn it upside down like someone else suggested. It worked awesome. Thank you again
Worked on my 2001 Sebring. Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.
TY soooooo much! Had the same problem on our 06 Chrysler Sebring convertible. Nice quick and simple and no going to the dealer and get charged for them pushing a button.
Thanks so much for sharing this information...totally worked on my 2003 Dodge Caravan...you the man!

+Brian Dell You are very welcome I am glad to hear you were able to fix this without paying an arm and a leg. From what I have found the cause of this is. Sometimes when the vehicle starts the needles jump. Why I do not know. the needle sometime gets wrapped up too tight and launches all the way around for lack of a better way to put it. Now you know something mechanics will try and do and sell you on a "Fancy computer program"
Worked perfectly on my 2003 Chrysler town and country! Thank you!!

Hi, I have a 2003 chrysler voyager and the problem is that the speedometer gauge moves when the car is stopped. Do you think this reconfiguration could work? Greetings from Mexico.
If only this video was available in like 2005 when this happened to me. I just managed to get it loose and flop it back over. :P
hello l was about to pay 200 hundred dallas to a mechanic to take out the speedometer to reseter dmanually but l see this and l did it ..workss thankssss

It may reset the trip odo. but will not reset the odometer.
Any idea how to fix a tach and speedo that bounce like yours in the video?
@annoythedonkey
9 жыл бұрын
the bounce is because its re-calibrating if your tachometer ans speedometer bounce while driving it likely mean you need a new cluster if it does not fix the issue after going through the re-calibration
@cshelton63

+annoythedonkey In my case it turned out to be the output speed sensor--replaced it and then re-calibrated the cluster and all was good.
had my pcm changed 3 days ago,and noticed my speedo is stuck on wrong side of 0. do you do this with the car completely off and do you sit inside with door closed or can you do it with door open? and thank you

No you do not need to run the engine. this is the first thing I recommend trying it will usually fix the issue
its not like they dont work, sometimes they work and then other times not.. you think maybe something is loose maybe?
