Speedometer not working

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. So sorry to hear you're having trouble with your car. Your Corolla's speedometer not working could be a symptom of a couple of things. Since tapping the dashboard temporarily makes the speedometer work, the problem could be within the instrument cluster itself—possibly a loose wire or bad connection. Another possible culprit is the vehicle speed sensor, which sends information to the speedometer. If the sensor is failing, it can cause intermittent issues. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
