Default Accord Speedometer Glitches

I've got a 96 Accord. My speedometer works sometimes and doesn't work other times. Anybody know what's wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance.

The 5th gens had an issue with the speed sensor. Is your odometer out also? If so I am 90% sure its the speed sensor, you can get those on ebay for around $30. I have a 94 and it has the same issue and Honda won't fix it on a recall.

Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack your thread but I have a similar problem.

Okay, I have the Odometer symptom on my 95 Accord, but my speedometer works fine. Is it a speed sensor problem? Or the actual gearing in the odometer screwed and I need to replace the entire gauge cluster.

I also have a very familiar problem. My speedometer is fine but my RPM meter just go krazy up and down ..and it dead most of the time. My engine light also on. I went to check they said SPEEDOMETER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. and they guys freaking wanted $360 to fix the whole thing. he said " if i replaced the gauge it stil wouldn't work" any1 in here knows how to fix it and where to buy part (or wat the part called) so maybe i can save a bit beter that why thnx alot
