Hi all,
I have a 1995 Diesel L400 GearSpace 2800 4WD automatic and the speedo and O/D suddenly stopped working. I had driven the vehicle onto a ferry and turned it off. When the ferry docked and I restarted the car I noticed quickly that the speedo wasn't moving at all. Then as I got onto the highway noticed that the car wasn't gong into overdrive, though the O/D button was clicked in. It also had been working prior to getting on the ferry.
I have checked the backup fuse and replaced it, also checked fuse number 4 (Electronic control). Actually I checked all the 10amp fuses in the dashboard fuse box to make sure none of them had blown. The A/T still works, all the lights work (backup lights, etc) ... I noticed that on one test drive after trying changing out fuses that the speedo needle moved for a short time when I was up at about 60km (in around the 10kmh range is what it showed), but now it is again consistently at zero and not moving. I can't see any other fuses to check. I read on another post that this model has a 'black box' versus a wired speed sensor circuit on the transmission, but not sure where that 'black box' is located.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!! It is hard enough not having the speedo working but not having the electric overdrive is worse.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
