Interior problem
2003 Chrysler Town and Country Front Wheel Drive Automatic 125000 miles

Hi
When I turned my van on the speedometer gauge just turned all the way around & is now stuck in that position. It is not working at all & I cannot tell how fast I am going. Is that something that can be fixed by resetting it or will I have to replace the speedometer with a repair shop.

Thank you
Lisa

If the maximum the speedometer can read is 120 mph, just drive more than half of that speed. The computer will try to position the pointer there, and it looks for the shortest way to get there which is to go down.
