2001 Honda Civic issues 1) Front End Clicking 2) Speedometer erratic 3) Corrosion on uncarriage
I am reading your discussion having been quoted $515.00 to fix the
speedometer cluster because it works intermittently and displays many of the same issues that you have been talking about here... any advice on whether to go with that price or go somewhere else for a quote? -bryan |

Does your check engine light come on? You potentially have a vehicle speed sensor that is going bad if either of these situations occurr,but if the tach is reading OK and you have no check engine light the diagnosis of a bad speedometer cluster is probably good. It is possible to disassemble the dash and have the cluster sent out and repaired yourself but it is a LOT of work. If you are having it done, depending on where you are located and who is doing the work $ 515 is not out of range. For that kind of money I would have someone else you trust give you a quote to verify diagnosis and price. |

Guys...thanks for your help. the tach has occasionally acted up and read either "0" when i was driving pretty fast, or rested at a high position when the car was shut off...and that was actually where the problem started...but since it has migrated to the speedometer and has stayed there. i will have it looked at by another garage and see what they think. i appreciate your feedback! -bryan |

It may be the speed sensor or solder joints crack on the circuit board
inside the cluster. You can disassembly the cluster to re-solder all the joints if this is the cause.
