My Speedometer On My Lexus Ls400 Will Not Work

Welcome to the Club! I had a sticky speedometer in my 1991 LS, that would not move in certain weather conditions or would stay in one place and a tach needle that was partially illuminated. My solution was to pull one from a self-service junkyard and swap odometers, so the mileage would be accurate. The cost was $25, plus the cost of some plastic polish to clean up the "screen" and the plastic odometer window. It works fantastic and with a little cleaning and sprucing up, it looks like a brand-new cluster. This would work for the 1990-1992 clusters, as I believe an electronic odometer made its appearance in 1993. LexLS.com has a great tutorial on removing and disassembling the cluster, and with help from the Factory service manual, I was able to test all bulbs and illumination before installing.

That would a be a cheap alternative..

But that old used cluster will be prone to failure as well.

There is a company called Mikado that you ship your cluster to, and they will refurbish it and ship it back to you within a day or two. For a couple hundred bucks.

Their info is in the sticky.

My speedometer works but it runs about 15 mph slow. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance, 1991 LS400 155,000 miles
