    Speedometer Quits

    So I read that thread about the speedometer but I don't understand it.
    My car's speedometer and MPH gauge quit out sometimes and stops counting miles,
    the RPM's always work

    im pretty new to this so I have no clue

      check wires at the diff. usually plug issues there will lead to random issues. you should also check for shorts in the wiring.
