Results for "speedometer"

Despite having electrical work done on my 1999 Ford F53 motorhome, the speedometer has been permanently stuck at 60 km/h regardless of actual driving speed. The gauge reads accurately up to 60 km/h but then just stays pegged there no matter how fast I'm actually going. I'm worried this could be dangerous since I can't tell my real speed on highways.

What's strange is that my odometer keeps working perfectly and even my cruise control still functions normally. I'm hesitant to start tearing into the dashboard without knowing what I'm dealing with. Could this be the speed sensor failing, or is it something else? I really need to understand what's causing this before I risk damaging other components. …more

During last month's road trips my Ford RV speedometer would occasionally stick at 39 MPH, but now it's completely frozen there regardless of actual speed. My 2003 Hurricane's speedometer seems to be stuck - it won't read above 39 mph no matter how fast I'm actually going. I've been relying on my GPS to know my real speed, which is working fine.

The weird thing is that my cruise control still functions normally and the odometer keeps tracking miles correctly. I'm just not sure what could cause the speedometer to max out like this while everything else works. Is this something that happens often with these Ford-based motorhomes? I'm hoping it's not going to be some crazy expensive fix since I'm still learning about RV maintenance costs. …more

Manual says to use Tow/Haul mode in the mountains but doesn't mention anything about using it with cruise control. Currently running cruise on the interstate with Tow/Haul off and wondering if I should be using both together. Don't want to damage the transmission doing it wrong. …more

Tried replacing the speedometer head, checking all connections, and even getting the ECM scanned — but my 2013 Tiffin Allegro's odometer is still showing completely wrong mileage. My 2013 Tiffin Allegro's odometer has started displaying completely wrong readings. It should show around 96,000 miles, but it's jumping to 181,000, then 302,000, and even over a million miles when I try resetting it. The speedometer works fine though.

A repair shop quoted me $900 for parts plus $300 labor to replace the whole speedometer/display unit. That seems really expensive for my budget. I'm wondering if this is something I need to fix right away or if I can live with it? My main concern is what happens if I want to sell the RV later - will the wrong odometer reading be a major problem for resale? …more
