Help po... speedometer & odometer problem isuzu fuego

[Habagat_88]

last New Year naputokan ng triangle ang ilalim (parang sa right front wheel ang tinamaan) ng '98 fuego 4x4 ko sa daan. pagkatapos nun napansin kong naging erratic na yung speedometer at nasa 20kph lang ang kayang abutin kahit tumatakbo na ako ng mabilis. ngayon, minsan gumagana up to 20km/hr but mostly hindi na siya gumagalaw. before, nag-aaverage ako ng mga 200 kms/wk sa odo. pero ngayon less than 40km nalang ang reading. nagtanong-tanong ako sa mga shops dito sa amin pero walang makabigay ng definite answer kung ano ang nasira kaya hindi ko pa siya pina baklas.

help naman sa mga experts diyan na naka experience ng ganitong problema... anong pong dapit ayusin dito? electronic naba ang speedometer mechanisms ng '98 fuego tulad ng sabi ng mga mekanikong nakausap ko? TIA

subukan mo lang 'to pre. not sure kung tama. If the mechanism of the 98 fuego is the same as the hilanders/crosswinds, silipin mo sa ilalim nung transmission mo. may nakakabit dun na wires, yun yata yung electrical signal wire ng speedo/odo and rpm meter. idiin mo lang ulit yung pagkaka-kabit or pagkasuksok. baka lumuwag lang yung wires nawalan ng contact.

hope that helps.

cable type yata ang mga isuzu. the wires are for the back-up light. the cable might have been damaged or dislocated sa tranny housing.

much as we would like to help each other and i would want to help, i cant because i have the same problem with my 97 ls. but mine stopped working totally and the odometer stopped with it because the two are linked.
i bought and tried installing a velo cable for the speedo but there is no socket for it in the console back, though there is a socket for it in the transmission.
i think they are right in saying that the speedo is digital, but why wont it run? how can we get it to work? do we buy a new sensor? i cant seem to find somebody who knows how to fix it
if you managed to fix yours, gimme a shout out so i can try what you did on mine
good luck

Finally... i was able to solve the problem yesterday! and that after going to two repair shops to have it checked. In one shop, the mechanic said na okay daw yung ilalim na mga cables at since electrronic daw yung speedo, babaklasin nya yung assembly sa dashboard para pa-tingnan ng isang electronic technician baka daw mga diodes or something ang sira. Would take at least 1-1 1/2 days daw. buti na lang nagmamadali ako at hindi ko pinabaklas. itong mga mekaniko talaga, bakit hindi nalang nila sabihin kaagad na wala silang experience sa ganyang repair para hindi maaksaya ang oras natin, at gagastos pa tayo ng walang assurance na ma-repair....

Anyways, kinontak ko yung bayaw ko sa Manila tungkol sa problema at tinawagan nya walco. Sabi nya baka sensor daw yung sira at ang bagong orig fuego sensor ay 4.4K daw. but yung para sa trooper ay kasya din naman at mas mura at 2.5k at ito daw yung kadalasan ginagamit ng mga fuego owners. may mabibili rin na surplus na mas mura pa, sabi nya. pinasuri kong mabuti yung ilalim ng fuego sa isang electrician kahapon at yun, nakita nya yung sensor na nakakabit sa rear axle, at parang dati na itong sira kasi tinalian lang ng masking tape. tinangal namin ang sensor at pagkatapos pina epoxy ko nalang kasi parang nabiyak yung plastic component (na may wires) na nakascrew dun sa parang bolt na may plastic gear na ipinapasok sa tyranny. i'm attaching pictures para mas maintindihan nyo ng mabuti. hope this helps truckster and other guys with similar problems. and thanks nga pala to ARB and rsnald for your feedbacks. sa ngayon, ayos na yung speedo at odo ko...
