Speedometer just stopped working
#9
GPS works, with a battery or 12vdc of the cig lighter port, all over earth, its independent of any vehicle,(car, train,plane,boat), its a system. unto its self, in deep space.HEO.

your current head,
the speedo needle is dead, just the needle.
the vss2 clicker is working, or the ECU will complain,errors, scan the ECU/PCM see any DTC errors?, no?, then VSS1 and VSS2 are both good. i bet they are.
the odometer works. so no issues there, proves cable works. end to end.


only the needle is broken , the mph clock is DOA, forever.
Suzuki stopped selling the mph chock , tacho clock, separate and stopped selling the whole head. (trike 3 we are out)
options,
Use a dedicated TOMTOM GPS, ever seen those? it shows computed speed at all times.
(via GPS and TOM computes time from 2 points on the fly, to calculate, velocity, MPH (or KPH) (the average MPH is pretty accurate)

leaves only 4 paths.
1 used heads
2 ignore it
3 or put up the GPS MPH gauge, or (use a CELL with travel app, that also does speed, most do)
4: USA path 4, OBD2 meters.

the car is rare.
and that is never good, for OEM parts. (check out production figures on Sports, it was super low)


Your car 1996 if in usa, is OBD2 compliant.
as such, it can also use OBD2 meters
for example all scan tools made here, you can see the PID , parameters, called speed, the ECU in your car reports speed at all times. (by law here, here)
and they make meters that jack into such , and OBD2 port, see photo below.
and shows many things, even speed.
google autometer. (what you see , can be changed with this meter)

the usa car, starting in 1996 (1998 in canada)
uses this scan port, OBD2 (we invented OBD2 so.,... know it well)
16 pins D-shell connectors. got that, then its OBD2 systems.

a stand alone meter can be way less than 1 or 2 used heads
i didn't price shop for GPS or the OBD2 meters. no time today. I'd bet fleabay has great deals. on such device...

Ive had to buy many used heads, for cars that have no OBD2.
and most were bad, until i found one head the mph meter clock didnt scream. or stick.
i had to mix internal parts. to get one head, but finding sport heads, and working right in 2016. ouch.
