2004 Honda Accord Speed Sensor Gear Replacement

简介

In this guide, I will demonstrate how to remove and replace a worn gear out of the speedometer for a 2004 Honda Accord. These cars that wear out the gears of the speedometer will result in the engine spinning the gear, but not accurately turning the needle of the speedometer. After replacing the gear with one that fits right into the grooves of the speedometer system, the needle of the speedometer should show the accurate speed of the car.

Warning: This guide involves the disconnecting of a car battery. Before beginning, place your car in park, power off the ignition, and engage the parking brake.
