EG cluster or vss anyone can tell ?

[viinnh]

hey guys i have a eg and the the middle section of the cluster - trip meter, odo meter and speed meter died . do you guys think its the vss or the cluster ?
electricity to the vss is fine, the vss i have taken out and use this electric cleaner to clean all the greeze and shit out and reinstall it correctly . still doesnt work. could it just be a broken vss or cluster ?

thanks

When my vss died the speedo, tripmeter and odometer stopped working. everything else looked normal...

yea thats the one, but are you sure its vss? maybe its just the connector, not actual mechanical sensor that it's attached with.

the connector (cable has electricity going through) well i used the thing where you connect to earth ? and plug in and theres a light . that goes on ..

okay i remeber something that might have ****ed something up. i washed the engine bay and engine once using water , and dint dry it by hand just left it in the sun lol , could that be a problem ?

shouldnt be a problem bro.. I washed my engine bay using the compressed water gun thingy, no problem, i just covered the started motor, alternator and battry.. other than that i just degreased and spray.
Same thing to pablos's car.. it shouldnt be a problem unless you just got unlucky
