AE101 Levin GTZ Dash

[big-ben-007]

Over the past couple of months I have been having problems with my dash, basiclly it seems that speedo is tying to get a speed reading however it keeps dropping off, and its making a flicking kind of action and never holding a constant speed, thus not warentable, which is handy because it is due today

Thinking it was the dash itself I brought a second hand one off trade-me basiclly just to check if it was the dash itself with the problem, after a quick drive around the block it was apparant it's not the dash.

This keeping in mind I have checked for all the other connections it could possibly be.

So I am left with the possiblilty going through the loom and trying to find a half broken wire...............

So just before I embark on this wonderful mission of mine has anyone got any idea on what else this could be??

ant help would be greatly apreciated

could be that the speed sensor in the gearbox is tired/worn out, or not plugged in properly

check that before you start looking for broken wires

Yes I've found 80% of the time a problem like that will be a sensor or plug or something like that not often it's a broken wire.

Unless someones been doing any wiring or if the wires go across a hinge like a door or boot with constant flexing. But it's usually something easier.

A mate had that problem in his ST185, ended up being electronic speedo sender (the rest of the dash was fine). Got it replaced by Toyota ($$$$), but Warwick could give a better price.

there are 2 types, mechanical and elctronic. it easy to check which you have as it will either have a plug or a cable. i think ae101 are electronic?
i have a mechanical one sitting on my shelf if you need it.

Yep it is electronic, the plug is in perfectly, but I never really checked the condition of the plug itself before, so that will be something to do after my CBF Syndrome passes

Also just a quick question so I make sure I havnt been looking in the wrong place,

but which plug is the one that reads the speed from the gerabox ie: where is the plug located on the g-box??

Any answer is very much appreciated
