Issues with Speedometer/Odometer/Cruise Control Failure

1999 - 2002 Nissan Quest

hello.
I have intermittent times when my speedometer will drop to zero, no matter what speed I'm traveling. During the time it's off, the odometer doesn't turn and the cruise control will not work.

Sometimes the needle bounces up and down a bit before it drops and stays at zero. Other times it works fine. When it fails it is usually after driving for a while.

No repair manuals that are worth anything are available for Quest or Villager (bought Haynes - a waste of money)

It does reference a speed sensor, supposedly on the side of the transmission, but I sure can't see it.

I opened the tranny fluid pan and replaced the fluid, but didn't see anything that looked like a speed sensor with pan and filter removed either.

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kirk

speedometer issues

I have the same problem with the needle bouncing up and down from 0 to 100. When it happens, the cruise control does not work.

It started a few weeks after the extended warranty expired.

speedometer,odometer and cruise control

Hi,
I have the same problems with my speedometer, odometer and cruise control on my 1999 Quest Van. I also can not see my clock or time.

Is this a chronic problem?
Thank you.
Pat

Mine is having problems too!!

I'm having the same problem in my 2000 Quest. The speedometer is intermitant and the cruise does not work when the speedometer is reading zero. As I was driving down the road today when the speedometer came back on the cruise light began to flash on and off until I turned the cruise control off then back on. Once I did that, all worked as expected.
