My speedometer and odometer are not working. There are no check engine lights or any lights. The RPM works just fine. My car is a manual transmission no issue with gear shifting and acceleration. No problem with starting the car. My speedometer is just stuck at zero. And my odometer is still at the same number.

Hi,

The first thing I suggest is to check the cluster fuse located in the interior fuse box. See pic 1. If the fuse is good, confirm there is power to and from it.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

If the fuse is good and there is power present, my next suspect is the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). See pic 2. This sensor is located on the transmission toward the passenger side. Confirm it is not damaged, is connected, and nothing has damaged the wiring.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
