The speedometer is not working. I just bought the car. So I don't know how long it has not been working. The fule gauge is also not working right and I just replace the fule pump.

Hello, I am Danny
When you replaced the fuel pump do you know if they replaced the whole assembly including the sending unit or just the pump itself?

Hello again.

Does your instrument cluster have gauges with needles or a digital
readout?

Needles, there is one temperature gauge and a speedometer then the fuel gauge. And the fuel gauge is all over the place. Also the temperature gauge.

Hello again.
You will probably have to have the motors that move/power the needles replaced due to them not working properly. The instrument cluster will need to be removed and taken apart for that. What about the speedometer? Have you replaced the VSS? Does that work now? Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
