If and probably were several things to disconnect to do that that may not be correctly attached now. I don't think the column itself has much to do with the speedometer/odometer which is likely all electric in this so wire hook ups that were touched or hope not pinched could cause issues for sure. If this just happened with a steering column replacement it point to a problem in doing so but coindences do happen. Just curious - why was it replaced?

Seems like someone wanted an airbag. There's no way I can know what was damaged the way that was stolen, what wires got pulled too hard or what. Bummer - I guess a strong cordless "SawsAll" with a blade to cut thru a hardened metal shaft which is hard to believe but I guess possible. Someone has to look at this in person IMO - hope you have insurance. I personally don't know what to say with this type of a repair as I thought all wiring would unplug from the column down lower. If you have a digital dash and features in the wheel the replacement may not have been exact. Perhaps another tech here has an idea for you but I think you need a tech specializing in wiring this properly, T nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Jan 24, 2010, 7:03 PM Post #5 of 5 (2612 views) Re: Caravan - steering wheel cut off, stolen - speedo doesn't work and more Sign In Is it only the speedometer or does the entire instrument cluster not work? Sucks to be a victim of that one. If you find out who did it and he's in Wisconsin let me know and I'll help you teach him some manners. These dashes have a circuit board in them to control them that is about $370 new. But usually its a $1.25 capacitor that goes out on it. Problem is, I had to go to an electronics genius at a computer shop to find this out so most people end up buying a new dash for a small fortune. But if thats the case it will shut off everything except the lighting when you turn on your headlights.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
