I bought a LeBaron that has an electronic speedometer instead of having a cable. The Odometer, Trip Counter and Speedometer does not work. It is not a digital read but looks like a standard needle type. All of the other gauges work fine How do I get the Speedometer to work.

The 3.0l uses a speed sensor, the 3.3l uses a trans controller and a crank and also a speed sensor, but depending on whether you have an overdrive or not is where the signal comes from. I am sure you do, so you really should use an electronic scan tool to see what is amiss. Know what I mean. I believe you have a bum speed sensor. OK Joe
