Do you know how to repair a speedometer?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you have owned your vehicle for quite some time now, you\u2019ve probably seen your instrument cluster become faulty or noticed that some of the gauges broke over time. You probably mustered up the money and purchased a brand new instrument cluster at the dealer for about $750, excluding taxes and fees. The price was not something you were happy about, but rather something you thought you had to pay out of necessity. However, what if I told you how to repair speedometers<\/a>, or that if you do go to a professional, it doesn\u2019t have to cost $750? If I have caught your attention, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with how to repair speedometers. Many people do not know that an instrument cluster can be repaired from home\u2014but it certainly can be done. It just requires some time, patience, and some good instructions. The steps on how to repair an instrument cluster are as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the instrument cluster must be removed out of the vehicle. To do that, the emergency brake should be engaged, and then the plastic trim around the cluster is removed. The steering wheel should then be tilted down and the shifter placed into 1st gear. After that, the trim can be pulled out and removed, as well as the 4x screws holding the cluster. Finally, the cluster can be pulled out and the wiring disconnected. Once these removal steps are completed, the actual instrument cluster would need to be disassembled. After all the parts are visible, any defective gauges or gears should be replaced with new ones. It is best if 100% OEM parts are used to replace the original ones. When replacing the unit into your vehicle, you\u2019ll want to make sure you no longer have any fluttering, dead, sticking, or incorrectly reading speedometer fuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you may just not be a hands-on type of person. Or, you just don\u2019t want to get your hands dirty. Either way, as I mentioned, you don\u2019t have to pay $750 for speedometer repair. Instead, you can turn to the company Safety Restore.
