#85 of 89 Re: '89 volvo speedometer and odometer [yeti_herd] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Jun 21, 2008 (8:59 am)
Replying to: yeti_herd (Jun 21, 2008 8:46 am) The speedo sensor is on the back axle. Since you didn't post a model, I'll give you the various possibilities:   ------------------------------------------------------- Speedometer sensor, replacement Rigid back axle.       * Cut and remove seal of lead.     * Unplug connector.     * Unscrew sensor.     * Remove casing over fuel filler pipe on 4-door models, or the cover on the left hand side behind the wheel arch on 5-door models.     * Break open the leaded box and unplug connector.     * Remove the sensor lead, rubber sleeve, and clamps.     * Clean the area around the sensor and unscrew it.     * Replace sensor.     * Fit new sensor.         * Thread leaded wire through connector lid     * Fit connector to sensor.         * Pass the leaded wire through the lock on the connector and catch on the sensor.     * Thread on a new lead weight and press together with pliers.     * Fit the new leaded box and attach lid firmly.     * Test.   Speedometer sensor, replacement T2 760/780 1988-, Multi-link back axle 960 The sensors are placed differently for varying versions of differential.       * Remove casing over fuel filler pipe or the cover on the left hand side behind the wheel arch.     * Break open the leaded box and unplug connector. Remove lead to sensor, rubber sleeve, and clamps.     * Clean the area around sensor and unscrew it.         * Reassemble in reverse order. Oil new 0-ring before fitting.   When fitting sensor, tighten to torque: 8 - 12 Nm (5.9 - 8.9 ft lb) .       * Fit new leaded box and put on lid firmly     * Test.
#86 of 89 2003 taurus-intermittent dash lights. by ohgeez Sep 11, 2008 (6:22 pm)
Dash lights go out, perhaps drive on rough road and come on again (about 4 times), dashboard lights work for few weeks and go out again. This time dash lights after about a week will not turn on. It's only the instrument cluster lights, radio and idiot lights work. On the Taurus/Sable thread read about 6 members that have the same exact problem. I would think there would a Technical Bulletin or recall on this for a 4-5 year old car. If this is one of those $5 part and $1,000 fix it issue, I'm dumping ford for ever. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it's the fuse that causes the problem or the electrical wiring. I think it would help if you can see the diagram of the electrical wiring in your car
