Speedo Not working

So I just installed my D3 in my car this weekend. Everything works flawlessly but the speedometer and odometer stopped working.

 

I need help!! Is it a possibility that when I tapped the speed wire with a wire tap that it just cut the connect? Or did I blow something? A Fuse? The speedometer?

 

I tried searching the forums for similar problems but havent found someone who messed up like I did :cry:

 

This was my first automobile radio install in my life. I was pretty stoked about everything working flawlessly until I took the car for a drive yesterday.

 

Help will be greatly appreciated. I got a lot of cuts and bruises from this install so I would like to know exactly how I messed up so I can go for the fix and do it right the first time around to save myself from more cuts and bruises.

 

Thank You!

Which car?

 

Did you hook up the vss? That would be my first guess as to what's wrong, either like you said you cut the wire, or you forgot to reconnect something?

Check where you tapped in to the VSS wire. It's most likely that you accidentally severed the connection while tapping into it.

fixed it :)

 

Thats what I get for installin ths navi while drunk in the dark. The wire got spliced too much and I had the pink speed wire hooked up the rear cam line :)

Wow!.... Im wondering if they should make that an event in the Olympics... :shock:

 

 

*Okay Cathy, we're here at our 1st event the Druken Install Competition and man do we have some competitors today!!!!! Our crowd favorite "gooey", who stole the show with last years AVIC/VSS/backup cam wire fiasco will be taking to the garage first*

 

 

(Hey we could make the pro installers trouble shoot it for speed in another event..... :lol: )
