Hi, I have a speedometer which sometimes works and most of the time not. I checked all cables but can't find the problem. Lexus dealer in Bangkok can't find it either. Is there a need to change the speedometer or is it a wiring or sensor problem from the wheels?

Thanks, Bart

Hello
Thanks for the donation.

I don't believe the speedometer should be replaced just yet. I suggest checking the wires to the speed sensor(s) and the sensor(s) themself. If these are all good, you may need to pull the gauge cluster out and inspect the solder spots on the circuit board. May need to resolder some spots to get the intermitent speedometer issue fixed.

Hope this helps..
