89SP speedometer malfunction - fred89sp - 05-20-2005 09:28
The speedometer in my 89SP has quit. A couple of weeks ago it would
bounce widely between 0 and 35 at speeds up to 35 but ran fine over
35. Now it stays at 0.
Last year I installed the correct new rear drums and recently had the
underside checked out as part of my spring lube and chassis
inspection. At the time the speedo was erratic. I was told the
sensor appeared to be in place with wires attached.
Any suggestions on where to start?

First try adjusting the gap on the speed sensor, you can also try a
new sensor as it should only be about a 20minute job if it isn't
severely corroded. I've had bad ones that looked fine.

Thanks for the input Jeff.
Took it on a 5 hour overnight round trip. First 45 minutes it worked
intermittently for a few minutes and then quit. Eventually it started
to work and worked fine for the rest of the trip and the return the
next day. So it is on the back burner until it acts up again.
Do you suggest I get the sensor from Blue Bird or is the a better
source. I want to have one on hand. Do you have a manufacturer and
part number?
