I have been experiencing a new problem with my 3.0 ssrx first thing in the morning the speedo takes about hal;f amile before it works but the odo and trip work fine once it starts working its ok for the rest of the day i'm 99% sure its the speedo head and not the electronic sender in the box has anybody else come across this.

Mine is doing something similar. Sounds like it is a common issue with these. Mine randomly jumps up from actual speed for a while after start up. But when it gets hot it is dying a for a few seconds at a time then coming back. I think it is only a matter of time before it dies completely.
From what I've read our problems do sound more like the circuitry in the speedo rather than the sensor so usually a new set of dials sorts it out.

Mine has started this too, I think I may have knocked something when doing work on the truck though, I keep jiggling plugs n stuff to make sure they are seated properly but nothing changes, I can live with it, comes on after 1/2 mile or so. H

If making good the connections gives you no joy, buy a new one.

My surf the other day was on the drive engine not running but turned on .I turned the wipers on and the speedo was showing 120mph and the odometer was also wizin round. some times you can indicate left and the needle will jump. all a bit spooky I have noticed its more so in damp weather or very cold.ionic SURFactant
