Need help with XSARA 1999 TD Speedometer

Post by omriohyon »

Hey guys, i need your help again.
After changing clutch , the speedo stopd working , they reconnected the Plug of wiriing and clean it, and the speedo needle went up and down very quickly and now , if the Key is on ( The car key is in the switch, and turnd ON mode, aka STOP And everything works on the dash) the Speedo needle goes from 0 to 15km
if you turn the key off, the speedo goes to 3km,if you give it some ticks with the finger, its goes down after few ticks to 0.
again - you Put the key on., Switch it - goes from 0 to 15 .
When driving - its okay, but its faking - i mean, if you go 110, it shows you 145.
How can i try and fix it? We tried disconnecting the Connector of the Sensor in gearbox, to see if it will go to 0, but it didnt! every when no speed sensor was connected, it didnt showd the speed ( as i say, we have disconnected the sensor) it was still - when the key is on = 15km/h , when off 5km/h.)
does anyone knows how to Recalibrate SAGEM speedo or Restart it or something?

If its anything like XM there will be a fault in the electronics on the instrument panel. The easiest thing to do is get hold of a secondhand panel and change it over.
