Hi all.

I recently did a clutch change on my Xantia, the speedo has not worked since.. I have removed the 3 pin plug from gearbox and re plugged it in, in case a loose contact.. no differance.

any ideas?
there isn't a seperate fuse for it is there? was working fine before the gearbox removal..

thanks
John

You are on track !

Its very smart going back trying to remember what you removed/bodged during your own work - as for sure the problem originates there.

Try squeeze a wee bit the spade connectors in that plug to ensure a good contact. Also the use of a contact cleaner spray may do the trick.

also look to see if the pins are coroded,if so clean them up and put some petroleum jelly on them and plug it back in,

thanks all..

If it wasn't the connectors tho.. could it be a fuse.. I will check them anyway.. Cant believe its the speedo head.

I have done 1500 miles this week!! so quite glad it doesnt work

just have to go slow for the cameras..!
