Jumping Speedo

Post by adam maclean »

Noticed last night that the speedo needle was jumping all over the place. It'll hold on a constant speed for a short time but then will jump about wildly. Sometimes up sometimes down. Alo more noticable at higher speeds of over 50 mph.

I've had an issue since I bought the car. When I'd start it it would jump then drop back down sometimes. But has always held speed perfect. Is it a bad earth maybe?

Either an earth or the speedo sensor failing. Mine did a couple of years back and it sort of bounced about sometimes falling to 0mph at 70 lol.

Can get a second hand one from someone breaking :D
