Speedometer Adjustment?

So I have had many speedo issues just got a new one with only one issue when I start the car it moves up to about 11mph so it is alway 11mph faster than I am going. If there is no way to adjust it that is fine but just wondering if there is a quick fix

I really don't think you can adjust it. It would probably just be easier to buy a new one. It would more in likely be a lot less hassle to do that. It could be your speed sensor though.

Take the needle off and put it back 11 mph

Easier said than done, especially if it's OEM. I had to buy all new gauges when I tried this with my Accord. :oops: :)

I must've forced mine, because I ended up spending close to $400 to replace all my gauges. :D

Just replace the speed sensor already. If you tried multiple clusters then obviously thats not the issue.

This speedo is number 3. First one never worked until I resodlered the board on it. Second one started out ok just jumped around every once in a while. Third one got on here and asked if anyone had one and Imthabean made me a sweet deal it works fine just 11mph fast. If it was the speed sensor I should be getting a CEL. I will try moving the needle back.
