Speedometer, connection, or vehicle speed sensor. Usually the sensor makes it act whacky but if the needle doesn't move at all, it might not be the sensor. Process of elimination

Ok thanks.....The weird thing is why does the odometer still work?.....I would think they would work off of the same sensor...

This probably doesn't help but I like to try anyways.

My speedo started freaking out last summer. I found that I had some metal shavings on my sensor.



I wiped it off and it's been perfect ever since.

If it was te sensor, the odometer shouldn't be working either, and also your auto cancel would stop working on your turn signals as well.

Do your turn signals work? My speedo went out yesterday and the turn signals stopped working same time.odometer worked also. I found a blown fuse for horn. See if your horn works if not that's the issue. I guess this is common. Works perfectly after replacing fuse. It was also a 2006 electra glide
