    Aftermarket speedo

    Ok so I gave up tying to fix the speedmeter in my CB. Anybody running a aftermarket speedo? What type do I need to get?

    Know nothing about aftermarket speedos, but it is pretty easy to get an OEM replacement.

        Anything that can tap into the coil will work.

            If the VSS on the Accord harness is not working, an aftermarket Speedo or any replacement for that matter, is not going to work. The problem sounds like it’s in the car not the cluster.

                The VSS is good, it works fine in my other CB7. I want to just do away with the factory vss wire harness and run my own to a aftermarket speedo. I just need to know what kind of aftermarket speedo will work with our cars vss

                  There are a plethora of choices aftermarket, if you go this route you will need a speedo with electronic imputs, not cable driven. Some have auto calibration, which is nice. You can chose between digital or analog, take your pick of faces, back lighting, etc etc. Just get 1 with electronic inputs and wire it the way the instructions tell you.

                      Your speed sensor could be bad. It is behind the engine on the top of the tranny. The hardest part about replacing it, is getting your hands down in there to do the work.

                      Sorry I didn't read the other thread before responding to this one. I see you did that already.

                        Use a multi-meter to make sure the power and ground on the VSS are good. Mine had a bad ground that I couldn't figure out when I did my swap, so I just gave it a new one.

                          Read my other thread. I've switched VSS's, clusters, and even the fuse box. Signal wire still getting 6.6volts
