    Ford KA Speedometer and Odometer Failure
    Bizarrely enough the same speedometer problem that I have on my Honda Civic (see other post) has now occurred on my girlfriend's car...

    The car is a 2001 (UK spec) Ford KA. Both the speedometer and odometer fail to work at all. The petrol gauge and other instrument displays work as normal. I've checked all the fuses but none have blown. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem could be? Is it likely to be a problem with the Speed Sensor (where is this located on a Ford KA), or is there another control module which could be the culprit? Any help/advice is very much appreciated.

    Cheers
    Duncan

    Since the speedometer and odometer fail to work:
    1. Check for a blown under-dash fuse
    2. Check the VSS harness
    3. Check/replace the VSS

    The last resort is to replace the speedometer.
