I just bought a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0 Gas with an automatic transmission. The speedometer is not working. Neither is the odometer. Gas gauge and tach seem to be fine. Checked fuses. All good. Replace all three speed sensors on the transmission, one at a time. The drive gear for the rear most VSS was fine too. Still no speedometer. When I got the car, I had a P0501 code (vehicle speed sensor A Range/Performance). Reset the light. Still no speedometer. Hooked up a tech 2 scan tool to it and graphed the speed. The scanner had a working speedometer but the car did not. Do not think it is the speed sensors on the wheel because I would have an abs light on too, but I don't. Did the actual gauge cluster go bad? Can I test wires at the instrument cluster to see if its good there? If I replace the instrument cluster will it show the milage of my car or the car I took it from? Thanks. Joe JoeyDi84@msn.com

update.....
Replace all three speed sensors on the top of the tranny, one at a time and no fix. Then Replaced the cluster, no fix. The wheel speed sensor dont compute the speedometer does it? How come it shows up on my scan tool and not the speedometer? I'll check the connections and grounds here in a little but. Lunch time.
