Speedo Problem. Advice Needed Asap

I just had a new pioneer avh 5700 headunit fitted in my evo 4.

As I drove out of the audio shop grounds, I found that the speedo was not working.

The revcounter needle is working fine, yet the speedo is not working at all!

I took it back to them, and Ive been told that it will need a diagnostic test to see what the problem is. It has been booked into a main mitsubishi dealer for tomorow.

The audio company I used has a very good reputation and comes well recommended by friends.

If anyone has experienced something similar, or has any ideas what may have caused it please help!

THANKS

There's no replacement for displacement !

If the speedo is electronic (ie not cable driven from the gearbox) then it could just be the connector behind the clocks, or a fuse.

Maybe a ground issue with the new stereo ?
Does everything else work (wipers / windows / mirrors etc) ?

The speedo is all sorted out now. The car went into Poole mitsubishi and they said that its a common intermittent fault. They run a full diagnostics test anyway, and found nothing wrong. Its working fine now though.

And yes, that was my Evo at Matchams. On the Pistoncruisers stand. I was there marshalling :yes:
