To fix a speedometer that is not working, you should first diagnose the underlying issue, which may involve checking fuses, inspecting wiring, or replacing the speed sensor or cable, and then address the specific problem accordingly.

One of the most common reasons your instrument cluster might not be working is a blown fuse.

You may have a blown fuse, the battery terminals may be corroded, or there may be a damaged wire somewhere in your car's electrical system. Any of these problems could prevent electricity from reaching your car's starter—the device that physically starts the engine.

The ignition key must be inserted into the ignition, then turn the key all the way "on" but do not start the engine, then turn the key back to the "off" position. Do this 3 times in a row within 5 seconds and the light should reset.

It could be a minor glitch in the battery terminals, a dead battery, a defective ignition switch and so on. Car starting problems are mainly related to the battery, car self-start system or fuel lines. Below are some of the common reasons why your car is not starting upon switching on the ignition.

The Chrysler Sebring (/ˈsiːbrɪŋ/ SEE-bring) is a line of mid-size automobiles that was sold from 1995 through 2010 by Chrysler. Three generations of convertibles, two generations of sedans, and two generations of coupes were produced.

It's rather bland and offers nothing special in terms of performance or interior design. In what is arguably the most hotly contested car segment, the Sebring ranks far behind practically everything, from the Honda Accord and Nissan Altima to the Saturn Aura and Hyundai Sonata. We recommend looking elsewhere.

The instrument cluster fuse manages the dashboard gauge of a vehicle. It uses electricity from the car battery to power various electronic components of the dashboard such as the different warning lights, gauges, and alarm systems.

Bad or faulty wiring can cause speedometer issues. General wear and tear is often the reason for bad wiring. However, there are cases when it short circuits due to moisture or a wet environment. One way of telling if the problem lies within the wiring is if your speedometer reads zero even when your vehicle's moving.

But when the gauges in your car stop working, it's not a situation you can safely ignore. When one gauge stops working, the problem may be in the gauge itself or a bad sensor, while all the gauges cutting out at the same time often indicates a blown fuse or a defective instrument cluster.

To calibrate your electronic speedometer: With the power off, push and hold the calibration button (trip/reset button when equipped). While holding the button, start the vehicle and continue to hold the button until the pointer sweeps to full scale and stays at full scale.
