Hey guys i am up north at jurien bay atm and today i got in my car after a day of relaxation and the speedo is not working anymore... Its day time so i dont know if the dash lights on but i need this fixed as it is still double demerits and im travelling on country roads...

I drive a 1997 MY98 wrx gc8 and i was just wondering what it could be, mechanic has looked at it and he said auto electrician but there isnt one here in jurien, fuses have been checked.

Please help fast as i need to fix it before 6 am tomorrow morning

Cheers,
TILLEE

Buy a cheap GPS that displays your speed.
Probably not really an option in Jurien however...

Have you checked/cleaned the plug on the front r/h side of the gearbox? they usually go into limp mode without the speedo so you should be safe speed wise lol.

is it just the speedo or everything on the dash? ie, rev too?

Please define limp mode? If that means runs like shit, feels like its cutting out while driving then yes it feels limp

Its only the speedo and odometre

Yup, that's limp mode, take it easy till the speedo is fixed then re-set the computer.

Did you check to make sure the plug on the box is ok? haven't ripped the wires out?

Went to MMS and he said it was afm so i bought new one an installed... Still does it but not as often... Speedo sebsor has no wires coming out of it at all an theres no wires above it that look like thats where it came from...

Booked in at subi next thurs but the guy doesnt like my chances of it getting fixed because all the mechanics apparebtly only know 2000 onward

He said this and your still taking it there?
Better off taking it somewhere that knows what they are talking about!
