Question Speedometer not working

All other gagues seem to be OK, and trip and odometer working. Bad speedo head or is there anything else to check?
Oh it was just in the shop for a O2 sensor and headlamp switch, and yes it worked before it went in the dealer they said speedo but I am sceptical?

You took the Toy to the dealer with the speedo working.
But, when you got it back the speedo wasn't working.

Take it back to them and explain (carefully and polity).

If they refuse, find the service manager, and explain the problem again.
If they don't do anything then take it to the Better Business Bearu and post the name of the dealership, mechanic and service manager on this thread

OK

good luck

I can see the problem! The damn needle is on the opposite side of the pin where it sits at rest. In other words below 5 mph the needle rests on this pin, but for some reawon right now it is under the pin. and I can not see how it would do a 360 cause I don't think it would get past the trip reset betton.

Fixed it myself, and I cannot see how this would have been done on accident? I had to take the faceplate off the cluster to put the needle on the top side of the pin. Somebody will have some expaining to do especially since I was a GM tech for 10yrs!
I will updatewith the dealer info after I talk with them either Sat or Monday. I could only leavea message today because they were closed by the time I was done.
