Speedo acting up
 
Hey,

My speedo is acting up. it flickers up and down.

On the weekend my rear brake on the passeger side started to lock up a bit when you are almost stopped. I haven't had time to take it a part to see what's up, but then it was fine this morning. On my way home my ABS and Parking lights came on. That's when I noticed that the speedo flickered up and down.

I will pull the drum and see what's causing the wheel to lock tomorrow night.

Would this be caused but the ABS warning?

Thanks

This morning on my way into work, I tilted the steering wheel up so I could keep an eye on the speedo, no ABS light on, and the speedo was fine, But I noticed that some lights flickered in the dash when I moved the steering wheel. So I tilted up and down, and the motor cut out and died. Shifted to neutral, and tilted the steering wheel again, and I was able to fire it up and keep going as nothing happened.

Now that I know that the problem is in the steering column, would it be the clock spring causing this or would it be the wiring harness in the steering column?

Thanks

typically the sensor on the top of your rear axel will cause the ABS and Brake light to come on. And yes it will be intermitent

Just changed the sensor, everything is back to normal.

It's a wheel speed sensor, as well as the ABS sensor.

Thanks

X2 on that sensor in the rear end. A lot of the time it is as simple as a dirty/bad connection!
