Wierd speedometer maybe cruise control?
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2001 12:01 pm
I've known for a while now that my speedometer is 5mph off, but
yesterday, on a 500-mile highway drive, it really acted up. Once when I
was accelerating, it got stuck at 75 and stayed there for a bit, then
all at once it jumped up to 90! Then when I was slowing down, it did
the same thing, got stuck at 75 then suddenly jumped down to 55. In
both cases, I was using the cruise control to change my speed (you know
push it up for faster, down to coast). I don't think it's a coincidence
that it gets stuck at 75 and not some other number, although... I never
drive that slow. Is this somehow related to the cruise control? Does
nayone know of a good place to find out how a cruise control works (is
it electronic, how does it measure speed, etc)? How easy is it to
replace my speedometer or at least the cable? (It also makes a rotating
sound sometimes at low speeds)
TIA Guys,
Dan
