Electrical problem
2004 Chevy Impala 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 78,000 miles
The speedometer on my '04 Impala LS no longer registers the correct speed. It has no problem registering when I accelerate, however when I slow down, the needle will twitch and stay in place. If I accelerate again, the needle will begin to rise again, but it won't register slowing down. The needle has completed a full revolution around the gauge and is stuck pointing down at neutral now. Mechanics have estimated $220 for a replacement. Is there any cheaper way? Have any of you run into this problem? What is the could cause this? |

Is there a way to replace just the stepper motor or is it integrated into the instrument panel cluster? |

I've never seen a way, usually the dealer will get a reman one for you. there are people that say on the internet that they can do it, but i dont believe them. I would just go to the dealer |
