Most likely the needle is just stuck. Try tapping the housing while driving
and watch the needle spring to position. Needs some cleaning and lubing.
Some clock oil will do the trick.

Subject: Speedo Issue..

   I've not heard of a Vanagon speedo losing it's speed function and keeping
the odometer, but that is just what mine begin doing this afternoon without
any warning or prior indication of problems.

    I had the odometer wheel problem and I also had a bad cable before but
now the speedo needle sits unmoving on "Zero" while the miles click off
just fine.   I know from my tach how fast I am going but the speedo is also
pretty handy and I'd like to restore it's function...if anyone has a
hint....thanks,

  Don Hanson
