Some Chevrolet C1500 owners report experiencing issues with their speedometers not functioning, often attributed to a malfunctioning Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) or electrical problems. Even after replacing the speed sensor and gauge cluster, some users have noted that their speedometers remain non-operational, alongside problems with the odometer and cruise control systems. Additionally, after transmission rebuilds, certain users have encountered speedometer failures and shifting issues. The installation of LED lights has also been linked to malfunctions in the speedometer, odometer, and shift light. Furthermore, some owners have found it necessary to recalibrate their speedometers to align with GPS or OBD2 readings. It is recommended for those facing these issues to inspect the VSS, check for electrical faults, and consider recalibration as potential remedies.
