#1: Speedometer stays at zero Author: ricks3101, Location: SurreyPosted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 3:40 am ---- Hello - please help if you can. The needle on my speedometer has stopped moving when driving along - just stays at zero... all other things on the dash e.g. rev counter, fuel, temperature needles etc work fine. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this? on google it told me Peugeot would possibly charge me about £400 to replace some unit - the car is only worth that much so looking for a cheaper home fix if possible. Very grateful for any ideas everyone and thank you in advance. Sophie

ABS fitted yes / no?
there's 2 totally different ways the speedo's work on 206 depending on the age & fitment of ABS.

If not, then it will be the speed sensor.

Lights flash and beep when opening the door whilst moving.

#7: Re: Speedometer stays at zero Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:09 pm ---- I may be way off, but have you had the cluster out and checked to make sure both connectors are in properly?
Also, can't you buy a second hand cluster to replace it? If the problem is a knackered cluster.
#8: Re: Speedometer stays at zero Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 1:59 am ---- 1) Does the odometer work (if not suggests problem with speed or ABS sensor or wiring)
2) Does engine run slightly differently to before? i.e. low idle speed briefly? Suggests ECU isn't getting speed data from speed sensor (wiring or sensor problem)
3) Does the interior light flash when driving with door open? If it does then it suggests the ECU is getting speed signal from speed sensor or ABS sensor so that excludes speed or ABS sensor)
As mentioned some cars use a combination of speed and ABS sensors to provide odometer and speedo signal to the ECU / clocks but the above can be used as a guide to help diagnose the problem.
