The speedometer just hangs below the zero mark, is there a kit or a replacement gauge that can be ordered. Thank You

dealer might be able to fix with the computer diagnostic tool. If there is a push button to reset odometer you can take a small wire and try and feed through the hole and raise needle above the pin. removing the instrument cluster cover is a pretty big task, if you cant find a place to insert a wire, only bypass I can suggest is drilling a tiny hole in the instrument cluster cover off to the side or top wherever the hole is least bothersome to you and then use a wire to raise above pin, after put a little clear silicone or a piece of tape over the hole to prevent dust building up inside the cluster

Try giving the gauge pod a solid hit with your hand. This may jolt the needle back.

Otherwise,

• remove the gauge pod.
• remove the front clear panel from the pod.
• move the needle back the zero position.
• reassemble.

See if the speedometer now works.

The problem is usually defective stepper motors. If you are electronic and mechanical minded,
order new stepper motors from ebay. ( http://stores.ebay.com/GM-Cluster-Repair )
A set of six replacement motors are around $30.00 and it should take you around 1 hour to complete. I would also recommend getting replacement light bulbs while you have the cluster dis-assembled. After replacing the motors temporarily plug the circuit board back into the wiring harness, with the key in the off position. This will cause all of the stepper motors to find the home or zero position. Re-assemble the cluster being very careful not to rotate the motor while installing the gauge needles. Aligned the needles to the lowest gauge line for all gauges (MPH, RPM, Fuel, Temp, Oil and Voltage). If you have chosen to only fix the one that is broken, (not always a bad motto) you only have to test and calibrate one item. Apply power once more with the key off, before re-assembly of the cluster to verify all of the gauges align to zero. Re-assemble the cluster and the dash. It would be a good idea to verify the speedometer needle has been placed on the stepper motor correctly, by comparing your indicated speed with a GPS.
If you do not know how to properly de-solder, or have a friend who does, I would recommend the cluster repair service ( http://stores.ebay.com/GM-Cluster-Repair ) for repair for $58.00.

Most likely the stepper motors which drive the speedometer and fuel gauge are defective and need to be replaced.

Pretty common problem with these. Here's a guide to learn how to fix GM instrument clusters yourself, I used it to fix mine and it worked great.How to guide for Silverado instrument cluster repair

Common problem on the 05 Mustang instrument clusters, it's caused by failing stepper motors on the cluster's circuit board and it can be repaired. Check out this page for more on how to get it fixed - 05 Mustang speedometer problems

Check cable from transmission to speedometer. The cable has a square end that goes into the gauge.

I had that happen to my Jetta you need a new cluster. This is all the gauges.

IT SURE SOUND TO ME LIKE YOU ARE MISSING A GROUND TO THESE GAUGES. THIS WILL BE TOUGH TO LOCATE WITHOUT A SCHEMATIC DRAWING TO HELP YOU. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO LOOK UNDER THE DASH FOR A LOOSE WIRE. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK THE FUSE PANEL FOR THE FUSE MARKED GAUGES TO SEE IF IT IS MAKING GOOD CONTACT. HOPE THIS HELPS. BEST OF LUCK. LET ME KNOW PLEASE. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does it hang out at 18-20MPH, regardless of your speed?
Mine did the same thing. The problem was an open circuit inside the gauge itself, and there's no repair for the parts. You'll need to get a replacement speedometer gauge, or simply buy a replacement instrument cluster.


If it's not doing the "20mph" thing, then it's possible that you just need a new engine speed sensor. This is located on the rear of the engine block, and is hard but not impossible to reach and replace.

One way to test is to set the car on cruise control when the speedometer is working. If the speedometer cuts out ,but the cruise is still able to maintain your speed, then the sensor is OK and the problem is the gauge. If the cruise control also cuts out, then the sensor is bad.
