HI,jack up the drive wheels,remove connector from switch,start the car,and put in 3rd gear,put a ohms meter across terminals,and read off the ohms,u should get 16-17,0 ohms at idle speed in 3rd gear,if not ,the switch is ######.Idon't think it's the gauge,they never go wrong.hope this helps cool.gif

hi,after jacking the car,pull the plugs 1 by 1,and see which plug controls the speedo, and about 3rd, shutup.gif after D or drive u should 3 2 1 . U have P .R .N .D.3 .2 .1,by saying 3rd is so that the g/box don't go into high gear or runing gear.if u only have 2 and 1 then u should have a overdrive button then put it in 2nd.all the best cool.gif
