    speedo, odo, and obc light no workie

    I did some searches and could not find anything like this. At first my speedo/odo stopped working suddenly the other day. Was driving home, worked fine 30 min later didnt work. Then i noticed my obc doesnt light up as if the light bar went out. I find it hard to believe these 2 are not connected.

    I checked the connection at the rear diff: fine
    checked all fuses: fine
    all connections behind cluster: fine
    pulled out speedo: gears and all seemed fine

    anyone else ever seen this. I'm stumped

    Theres a speedo sensor in the differential that might be causing your problems but I dont know how that could effect your OBC.

      Check it out, it is the + prong that connects to your speedo in side your cluster. You will see 4 or 5 prongs that plug in to your speedo, one of them is the +, this one will have a broken solder that should be re-soldered.

      It says which prong is + on the speedo it self.

      Ill take a pic if you need.

        I think I know what you are talking about but I did not notice any thing out of place. Would you mind taking a pic? Thanks.
