What Causes the Car Speedometer Needle to Stop Moving?
1 Answers
Here is an analysis of the reasons why the car speedometer needle stops moving: 1. Speed Sensor: Most cases are due to a damaged speed sensor. 2. Transmission: The wiring connection at the transmission is broken. 3. Grounding Issue: It is highly likely that there is a problem with the car's grounding. 4. Clip Loosening: The clip connecting the odometer and the transmission is loose. Note: There are two scenarios when the speedometer stops moving—one is when it remains at 0, usually caused by a short circuit; the other is when it stays at the maximum point, commonly referred to by car owners as "pegging the needle," which can be resolved by resetting it.
