Mike Oden of Midwest Speedometer is a great guy - he helped me resolve a troublesome problem with a speedometer unit that was working intermittently on a 1994 Honda Accord. The speedometer needle would randomly jump up or drop to zero before returning to normal speed. Replacing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) on the transmission didn't solve the problem, so after contacting Mike, he helped me diagnose the problem as a fault in the printed circuit board (PCB) attached to the back of the speedometer instrument head. (Many times, shops will change out mechanical components such as the vehicle speed sensor or the speedometer gear/shaft assembly, but those were not the problem in this case.) Mike's experience told him that it was the PCB, and sure enough that was it. He inspected and resoldered the 2 chips on the speedometer PCB, and had it back to me in 2 business days. The speedometer works like new now, and it costed very little money to fix! Prompt, courteous service, and very knowledgeable...I HIGHLY recommend Midwest Speedometer and Mike Oden if you are having any problems with your vehicle's instrumentation or electronic controls.
