    My speedometer occasionally likes to stop working on me. Its not the display cause it usually works fine but every once and a while it just sits at zero. Im guessing the speed sensor is going out or there is a bad wire. Has anyone heard of/seen this problem?

    clean the speed sensor connections and put electrical grease at the connections see if that helps.

    I like non chlorinated brake cleaner for cleaning any electrical components because it dries with out any residue. Hell I use that stuff on everything, tires, windows, changing baby diapers, keep it off paint and out of your eyes.
