91 hilux speedometer not working

Post by zukin »

have a 91 hilux double cab 2.8l with manual transmission.
speedometer & odometer stopped working, it has a electronic speedometer no cable.
I have replaced the vehicle speed sensor with no luck.
anyone else had this issue? any ideas or suggestions?

thanks in advance

I'm speaking under correction but the 91 definitely had a cable speedometer.

That would be 100% correct for a '91 model here in RSA, Nic. Ray is however from Canada ... just edited his profile to show that so that it's more obvious in future. :winkx:

Ah ok, but still, the next generation of Hilux, the IFS, also has a cable. I don't think it was until the Vigo model that there were fully electronic ones

I think they used all their old tech stuff in the African market while Europe and the US / Canada got the latest tech at the time. So quite conceivable that they already had the electronic ones by that time. :think:

I suspect that you may have an issue in the instrument cluster itself. I would start troubleshooting there.
