98 2.2i speedo - trickya4
hi. im having a few problems with my frontera.
the speedo isnt working and my perol gauge isnt working either, they come on now and then. ive located the speed sensor in the box ive tried a second hand sensor in to see if that was the problem still no good. the drive in the box is turning so i think thats ok. i took the clocks out messed about with them but couldnt find anything with them, im just wondering if anyones had similar problems? wonder if its worth trying some different clocks. cheers

p.s its the newer model without the speedo cable

I have seen a few issues with the instument pods on these and they tend to have faults within the pod electronics.Do the faults change if the lights are turned on and does it have the standard factory radio fitted?S/hand set would be the best option.A new cluster is around £500.hth

the radio isnt the standard one but that has been in for a while now, sometimes the speedo and petrol gauge work,i noticed the last time it was on as soon as i hit 20mph it droped to 0 and it never came back on
