gary12345 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 please help, I have a galxay 1.9tdi 2001 with 118000 miles the car has devoloped a fault which i'm sure most have seen but i can't find anyone that has found the cure. here goes: The speedo has stopped working and when you start driving the fuel gauage goes up and down. things that i have done are: replaced the speedo with a 03 model which works fine but runs MPH to fast, so i bought another second hand one which came off another 2001 model and have the problem, so i'm gussesing that my clocks are fine. i have checked the wiring that goes in to the clocks and they are all free from corresion, also done a wiggle test on them. As the 03 clocks work i know its not a fault with the speedo sensor or fuel sensor as work fine with those clocks it just reads wrong MPH e.g when i do 70 it shows 110mph Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix, driving me up the wall now Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rog mk3 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi Gary, I had a problem like that a few years back n if my memory serves me correct it can possibly be faulty brake light swith or maybe something as simple as a fuse/relay. Hope it helps ;-) I'm actually having fun with my electrics. Fuse box is sending me morse code and my interior lights are like a disco. Hoping it only a relay :-D Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cos140 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I had a similar fault on my V6 but maybe the same system. I had done work on my engine and I forgot to put the speedo sensor back onto the gearbox! So it could be your speedo sensor that is at fault.
