Exclamation 04 fiesta spedo fault :/

hey guys

my partner has an 2004 WP fiesta Lx and is having problems with the speedo....Every now and then the speedo will just die and then come back after a couple of gear changes or just by its self

also was going up the expressway and the speedo died and the whole car shut off

what would be the problem? Computer??

any help would be much appreciated!

thanks

This member posted a download link, with instruction, on how to do it myself. One week on, the unit hasn't played up once. Three different dealers told me to virtually 'Live with it.

Similar issue is common on the XR5 where the speedo dies and a few lights come on the dash.
