Volvo Repair: Volvo 240 Speedo, volvo dealers, volvo 240


Question
I have a 1989 240 wagon. Speedometer dead. BUT, odometer and trip counter work fine! Thus, cable is "probably" okay? How do I test if it's the "sending unit" or if I even have one of those? Or is it the entire speedo gone bad? THANKS!

Answer
there is no cable it is electronic.sounds like the speedometer is bad if the counter still works this uses the same signal as the speedometer.there is a special tool volvo dealers have to test the speedometer and other sending unit.it also can generate a speed signal to check the speedometer function.
