Electrical problem
2000 Honda Odyssey 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 184km miles

My speedometer needle is jammed full right but looks like it is still attached. The mileage numbers still work as usual though. Do I need a replacement instrument cluster to fix it? (Likely unrelated, tranny replaced 1 month ago.)

Hi Steve Boyd,

If you had jumped started the vehicle or connected the battery with ignition switch ON, it could cause the needle to overshoot.
Remove the meter cluster and turn the needle back to the zero position and it should be working again.
