When I bought my 1997 cavalier it did not have any problems with the speedometer. It didn't come with a radio, so I bought a sony cd player to put in it. I had my brother to install it and then my speedometer stopped working. I changed the cd player with a sanyo cd player and it started working again. Later on, the speedometer stopped again. Now, the cd player isn't latched in so it jiggles. I started playing with it and I noticed that when I pressed down on the top of the cd player my speedometer started working again like nothing was wrong with it. When I pressed up on the bottom of the cd player my speedometer stopped working once again. What is the problem? Is it the cd player or a cable that touches the wires? Or is it the speedometer itself or I'm just going crazy? Please help!
The only times i have had any problems with a speedometer my tranny went not too long after, and now the count is; 3 Rs trannys, and 4 Z-24 trannys. if it's the same problem i had, I'm sorry it's your tranny
One question then if it is my tranny then how come it works and don't work according to the way I move my cd player?
