Post by solorider »

i know the 406 speedo can go doe to a relay but i have a little question,i have a 1996 406 which has had problems witht he clocks playing up ie rev counter staying at 2k,well the speedo was working but now it does not,the trip and mileometer still work,would this be the relay under the dah or the speedo itself? i know the speed sensor is ok as the mileometer is working ok

Sorry solo, I missed this one!
This happened on my '96 LX, the cure for me was to run the solder on all the joints on the instrument cluster. When you take it apart you'll see a comb shaped spring that attaches a flat cable to the board; make sure you squash the prongs in when you re-assemble.
