[net.auto.tech] '85 Laser Speedometer

review@drutx.UUCP (MillhamBD) (10/24/85)

Has anyone experienced problems with the digital speedometer on
a '85 Chrysler not working? The problem is, when I start the car,
and the outdoor temprature is ~70, the speedometer just reads 0MPH.
If I stop at a light, the car will stall out. Also noticed during
this period is that the cruise control works, but none of the
computer functions related to speed/distance works. I assume that
the speed sensor is bad, but I can't locate it. The speedometer
cable from the transmission to the cruise control must be good,
otherwise the cruise control wouldn't work.

Any help (other than telling me to sell it and buy Japaneese) would
be appreciated. (The car is out of warrenty, of course, so I don't
want to take it to the dealer)
