806 No Speedo (T Reg)

[pugbus96]

Hi , just brought myself a lovely GLX but the speedo does not register either speed , or total miles. This is the electronic type so whatever the fault is ,it's bound to be a few quid either way .

does it show revs, fuel and temp? i mean does it show everything else that it is meant to?

Yep ,everything works except the speedo ,it still shows the miles at the bottom of the speedo head unit as well .

hmmmm... either your speedo unit is fooked as they say... or your speed sensors are done aswell... i think your next thing to do is get planet (dealers have these and so do a few hobbyists - depending on your location) hooked up to see if there is a register fault....

just clicked have you checked all fuses?

[pugbus96]

No ,not yet as this is the first electrical prob i've had and as i've only just purchased it i thought i'd gleen some info from the forum first before doing anything else . I've got to hit the sack now as it's early to work tomorrow ,will talk tomorrow and by then will have checked the fuses . Thanks for your quick responce and input so far.

Ok John , had a look at the fuses ,and thats all i did as i don't know which protects what , any ideas?

[john_h]

i couldnt tell you which one it is to be looking at, but it should have an insight in the manual...if the fuse is fine...could be a duff unit...

your not getting any warnings about abs or any grinding noise when braking? if not it wont be the speed sensors as i beleive the abs and speed sensors are the same thing...maybe wrong tho...

i would try and get to a scrap yard and see if there are any in, take their speedo and hook it in...cheap and easy.

i found these, same car similar problem:

they both say something on the bottom of the car... and so have a few other websites...i would suggest taking it to a garage that knows as it seems to be them that is able to fix it...unless your a competant mech

Thanks buddy ,i'll have a bit more time tomorrow to spend on it and so might find something easy like a bad connection (not that easy i'll bet ). Just a thought would the speedo head and sensor from the Fiat/Citroen be the same . I'm interested in the Planet gadget ,were do i get it ,and how much is it ? Thanks in advance.

Hi John , just been on the sights you suggested ,very helpful indeed i will have a go at what they suggest and let you know the good/bad news ,either way it'll be worth it as it's a lovely motor.All the best.

citroen parts maybe, as it is the same company...not sure on fiat. planet is sold on ebay its about £120 delivered...but in the long run will save you money (could even make you money) as you wont have to go to peugeot or citroen for a diagnostic.

i used this seller:

if you wait a few days, they put it back on for sale.
