Ask Your Question2002 Toyota Camry
Question: My 2002 Camry speedometer gauges are not working, I need some advice.
Question
Checked all my fuses under the dashboard and under the hood, all are good. I removed the speedometer head and unplugged and put back in it WORKED but on after 10mins the car is shut off it does not work again. Been on youtube for some pointers but still no results. Really do not have the money to take it to a dealer or a professional mechanic due to my unemployment. Thank you in advance!!!!

MasterFirst and foremost, scan your check engine codes for a vehicle speed sensor code. That is what gives the speedo the info it needs. A $20 OBD-II scanner should tell you. then go from there, because if you have a vehicle speed sensor code(s), all the work on the dash will not help you fix your car and a VSS can be intermittent. So don't over look this.

TechnicianI agree with the Technician advice, instead of purchasing a scanner just go down to your local Auto Zone and they will scan for free and give you the code. Take the code they give you and go to google and research the code. Do not let Auto Zone sell you a lot of possible parts do the research 1ST.
