URGENT - Speedo not working

[behold81]

The car has a speedo converter on it from KPH to MPH incas that is relevant. The Speed is sat at 0. If I do the Display trick the digital output for speed is 0. The dash test shows the needle moves fine.

What is first to check to prove if its a signal issue or the converter???

Where is the signal generated from?

Thanks

is your cig lighter working?

the converter is wired to that fuse

back left side of gear box if a T56. where the converter, first thing would be to remove unless it's software. You could try and get the code from the ECU.

Ah... Ill check.... TBH the ciggy lighter is loose and needs refitting properly. it might have shorted. What else is on that fuse???

It took me a while to work out the black box in the fuse area was the speed corrector..

Am i correct all its doing is slowing/speeding the pulse from the sensor? Or is it doing more?? Can i bypass it? if so what wires?

Thanks

BINGO.....Fuse gone....

There seems to be a metal shield behine the lighter socket that is loose. I lost the speedo under a bit of oversteer so i think it might have shorted on this.....

Thankyou!!!
