Hi gang! I’m helping a friend repair his 308. His speedometer and odometer have both quit. He’s dug through FChat and Facebook groups for diagnostic help. The original consensus seemed to be the sending unit would be bad. So this weekend,
we removed the sending unit and tested it per this document: His is the Type 2 sensor in the document. Per the testing procedure, the sensor is good. It reads a hair over 4V with no metal in front of it, and bringing metal in close proximity to the coil makes the voltage jump to 8V. So now we’re on to what’s next. Some people have said the needle/shaft on the speedo itself binds up and may need lubrication. Some have said the speedo board itself is bad. So some questions for you 308 gurus: 1) Is there anything else we should look at? 2) What’s the easiest way to get the instrument cluster out of the dash? I’ve read that if you pull out the smaller warning lights that there are screws behind them that will release the cluster and you can draw it out from the front without
removing the steering wheel. Any additional information from those that have been there/done that? 3) If the speedo requires repair, what’s the best course? I know Palo Alto still rebuilds them. But you can also buy boards from Ricambi and some other suppliers. Any recommendations/warnings/suggestions? Thanks! -- charles |
