Speedometer and Odometer not working on '06 M7

[justn]

All of a sudden last season my speedometer and odometer quit working. The rev counter still works, and the computer still tracks hours. Where should I start looking for this problem?

Have you by chance had your DD out?? There is a small wire that goes into your DD that is for the spedometer it is held in by a little plascic clip....check the inside bottom of the DD for it.

I haven't had my DD out. I do need to change the oil in there.

Have a look @ that wire thats the only thing i can think of sometimes that plastic plug that can break and fall out .....The wire may be in there but not in all the way.

 

[justn]

Alrighty I'll check it out. You don't happen to know of a good guide for getting into the DD do you?

 

[dezmitchell]

:dActually i do :d

I made a step by step guide with pics and instructions .....Look for it in this section ...

its called Diamond Drive removal and maintence....should be on page 3 or so.

Awesome! And even better that we have the same year sled. I'll have to tear that out this weekend.

Justn,
I have an 08 M1000 and the same problem occurred with mine, arctic cat had a defective tach, you might need to replace the unit altogether. Mine was under warranty, not sure what you'll pay but I'd check other diagnostics first. Just a suggestion

 

[justn]

I took my DD out and check where the speedo wire was, and it was where it should have been. I'll have to wait until I get the DD back in and run it to see if it still doen't work. What else should I check?

 

[dezmitchell]

Im not to sure then buddy .....Have a look @ that wire and make sure its not cracked or anything .......Do you have a buddy with the same sled that you could possible switch out the gauge cluster just to see if its that?

replace the speed sensor in the dd 30-40 bux,common problem for these sleds
and an easy fix
