I have a 2000 Dyna Convertible. It has the handlebar mounted cluster.
The speedometer does not work over 10 MPH then goes to 0 when I go faster, odometer goes dark. The engine light comes on when it does this.

Sometimes it wont work at all. The engine light is on then too

Has the 1450 Twin Cam

If it was the speed sensor would the odometer not light up too??

Any ideas???

 

Let's see,, the engine light comes on and you still ride it?
I think it's trying to tell you something.

 

Check your ignition switch contacts for corrosion and such.

 

My speedo would randomly cut out. It was just the connector to the back of the gage.

 

The back of the speedometer housing has 2 plugs that seem to conceal screws. How do those come off to access the plug?

 

My gages are mounted in large rubber grommets. You have to twist and pull to work them out. No screws involved. Of course yours may be completely different. Any chance of a pic?

 

Ill take one. Where is the speed sensor in this? Cant seem to locate. Anyone done one of these on a similar bike?

 

The speedo sensor is typically on top of the transmission mounted in the trans. cover. You can take it out and clean the sensor head, tends to pick up crap in the tranny. Then check the speedo sensor plug under the seat for corrosion on the pins.

 

what code is it throwing? it may answer your question for you .usually the vss will also cause the self cancelling turn signals to fail and or cause the bike to stall when coming to a stop.

 

I just replaces the speed sensor. Sill operates erratically..turn signals wont cancel and the odometer cycles on and off matching the turn signal
