About a week ago. my speedo all digital information flashed a couple times and went blank. The 4x4 does not work anymore either. I checked all the connections everything looks fine. I have no idea what the heck is going on. I know this has probably been asked and answered already but I don't even know where begin to search. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix?? Thanks in advance.

Do the lights come on?
If not, check things like the battery connection, or a dead battery itself.

If they do, check things like the wiring (which you already did) and the keyswitch. Also be sure that the kill switch is dead centered on the 'run' position.

Do you have a keychain on the key? I have seen where a heavy enough keychain can put pressure on the key in an odd direction & cause wierd electrical problems.


Much beyond this, and you will need an electrical tester.

Yes the lights work fine, machine runs fine, just no speedometer, needle does not move, the digital display does not work and the 4x4 does not turn on, everything else seems to work fine.

At the back of the speedo, there is a fairly large electrical connection. Be sure it is tight & not corroded. The AWD system wiring goes through the pod, so if this connection is bad, it can affect both.
