I was going over a bump in the road a few weeks ago and the speedometer started jumping around. Immediately after it went down to about 20km/h but increased slowly with the speed of the car which would have been about 60km/h....
Now when I turn the key into the ON posistion but don't start the engine, the speedometer goes up to about 25km/h and sits there then when I start moving (slowly) it goes up to 60km/h and sits there. When braking, the speedometer needle decreases (a bit later though) back down to about 20km/h. I disconnected a lead (the only lead) at the rear of the gearbox/diff as its a 4wd and the speedo still goes up to 20km/h and sits there.
Anyone got any quick fix for this as i don't want to fork out 500 for a instrument cluster........

First check to see if you have a blown fuse in your fuse box (owner's manual will show you locations of your fuse box)
If it is not a blown fuse, I would suggest carrying it to the dealer of your make and model and get them to check your wiring harness.

ok on the side of your transmission there is a cable comeing down( on dodge its on the left side or driver side if you will) it simple has one or two screws and the "plug" comes out a metal rod with a plastic gear that gear could have gotten stripped with you hit that bump..... the gear for a dodge is about 25- 50 dollars depending on the modle of the car..... if that gear is fine i suggest spending money and takeing it to a ASE sertified mechanic and have him look at it ......
