Speedometer problem

[Cubster]

I've recently noticed, that while driving that the speedo is registering a faster speed than I'm actually going. when I shut the car off the speedo says 15 mph, what could be the problem ?????? Thanks in advance,


Cubby

PS, could it be a speed sensor ????

Fast

They always did say that the MarkVIII looked fast even when sitting still. I believe that the speedo sensor is in the transmission. May be a bad sensor. I do not have my manuals at work. Hope that someone else chimes in to help.

I have yet to hear of a sensor going bad. What it prolly is, is the gauge face has come unglued and has come in contact with the needle shaft. Go here and that will give you directions on how to remove the cluster and the needles/gauge face.

Thanks Ray, I knew you'd come through.....have a Happy ( sober ) New Years eve....but then again, how can we be happy if we're not drinking. Hey, don't drink & drive cuz you might hit a bump & spill your drink.......

Cubster that was an issue a Mark VIII had that I was looking at.

Got the same info from Ray and told the guy the steps. Solved the problem.

Ray is great!! :Beer :gr_hail:
