Hello, I'm having a problem with my car speedometer. I changed out the speed sensor ACDELCO seem like it fixed for two days now but back to the same problem. I don't have any check light at all my car shift fine transmission not slipping I noticed on highway doing 65 my speedometer was flicking then once came to a stop it felt like hard shift but pick back up speed slowly after I brake. I don't know if the speed sensor bad or not need. Help because there no codes to determine this. I don't know where to start to be honest. This problem just started.

With these codes it looks like the BCM is not working, which affects the speedometer. Here is how to replace the unit, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

What you get the chance I want to see the wiring harness for the speed sensor because I might have a wire broken somewhere because this problem is random. I know my BCM is okay because all my power works and other needles on my cluster.

Also, I noticed when driving down the road at low speed like 10, 15, 25, or 30 it flickers but when I pick up speed it drives fine. I tested my cruise control for the first time and yes it works perfectly at 60mph its just low speed is giving me problems, that's why I want to trace down a wire causing this.

Thanks for the video, it helps. This looks like the instrument cluster is bad, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Here is how to swap it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
