Today when I start driving my car and noticed the speedometer need is not moving at all, stuck at 0 mph, (rpm, radio, odometer is fine). I don't know what's wrong, the only thing I noticed is that (when the car is parked, no key) when I open the driver-side door, i heard the clicking sound from the speedometer, and the needle moves a little bit to 20mph and stop...

I hope someone can help my issue..thanks..

Updates: today I notice the fuel and rpm will take a 30 second to move after I turn on the car...

 

That's a new one. Have you had the dash apart at anytime? Gauge swap or anything like that?

 

not at all, never take out anything at all...

 

Take it to the dealer but first look up the TSB list and see if anything matches your description of the problem. I've never heard of anything like that but it should be under warranty.

 

^Sounds like the best plan. That's why I was wondering if you had done anything to the gauges. If not, take it in.

 

I wonder if a relay went bad

 

Strange! My 05 xB is doing the same thing. It has 67000 miles and it started about 2k miles ago. Sporadically it will work again but lately not very often. The fuel gauge and tach also do the same as far as taking a while to register after it is cranked. The tach is also very prone to sticking at weird rpm's, like 100 rpm idle or 3500 rpm idle.

The dealer wants 395.00 for a new cluster. NOT!!! I ordered a Scan Guage II and will rely on it from now on.

is scan guage 2 working fine even the thing is not working right..i might get one too...

 

yes it does work fine, my tach acted up a few months ago and i said to my self that aint right so i compaired it to my scan gauge and i was right the SG was dead on and my tach was off...

 

i have the same problem with my tC. if i lock it and leave it alone for like 3-4 minutes and then unlock it and open my door i hear clicking and grinding noises from the gauge cluster. The dealership
has no idea what's going on and told me to get a new cluster but that's over 700!! still doing research to see if i can get my own used cluster and program the odometer to match my mileage.

sounds like its some relays

 

I have the same issue as well, but not with my MPH its with my RPM needle not wanting to move at all. My fuel and temp as well as my MPH needles take about 20 secs before they kick in. I have 62k on my car.

 

have you taken it in to get looked at? any ideas as to solving the problem yet? let me know what you find out

 

That cracks me up. "We don't know what's causing the problem, but maybe buying expensive replacement parts will fix things."

 

well keep me posted on what the people you talk to tell you about it and what they suggest doing. just repost here

 

I bet its the ECU

 

Hmm... maybe try flashing the ECU? Never know.

I had this happen with my last vehicle. They said it was when the gauge cluster wasn't lubed properly and now has mal-functioned. They had to get me a new $700+ cluster, free to me under warranty.

 

Hopefully I am still covered under my warranty. $700 I dont have thats for sure.

 

you shouldnt be covered under warranty because you're over 3 years or 36,000 miles
