We suggest lifting your dash assembly to inspect the speedometer plug and related harness. Inspect for a secure connection or possible harness damage. You can pull the plug to inspect for corrosion and use a test light or multi-meter to test for power and ground. If everything looks & tests out good, you may need to replace your speedometer.

Speedometer works odometer doesn't work. A friend told me I had to replace speedometer. What are my options?
I have 1996 road king and the odometer stopped working what can I do to fix this issue?
05 sportster , odometer, speed , not working bike been in storage for 4.5 years
I have the 2000 Heritage Springer Softail, w less than 40k mi. Runs great, but like many I have had odometer/speedometer failure. Just replaced VSS and was happy for about 2 minutes. Out of the driveway, everything worked great, btw I always let my HD warm b4 travel, then the engine light came on, speedo zero and no odometer. Also, a clue from others my turn signals work fine, just don't cancel when the speedo isn't working...I get it. I hate to just experiment with replacement of original speedo, it will devalue the bike for future...21 years old and most people don't believe. I welcome any suggestions. Thx
my 2000 FLHST has less than 40K and runs like new...Speedo just started acting up...ie, when I come to full stop the odom and speedo engage, when I take off, back to zero for both, actually no digital readout and the check engine red light comes on. Checked for cable connectivity and plug at speedo...all seem perfect....also, tested each fuse, good...saw where some members had a 'speed sensor' failure....hate to just toss an original speedo and it not be the problem, especially on bike of this caliber year and low mi. suggestions? Thanks
My upgraded handlebar mounted micro speedometer/odometer doesn't work. Also built in led light doesn't come on as well. Wiring is good which leads me to a failed sensor. After installing new speedo sensor will my speedometer/odometer and led light be functioning normally ?
still no help
