My Speedo jumps, odometer stops time to time!!!

[JinCivic]

Hey guys, I have a 1997 honda civic dx...

Went to my parents house on thanksgiving and I was on the highway at 65mph, next thing u know the needle jumps from 65mph to 0mph and back to 65mph.

I happened 2 times within the 1 hr drive. Came back home and went to walmart and for like 1 min the speedo, odometer and trip odometer stopped. the Temp and Gas gauge works fine... now it happens like every 5-10 mins of driving.

I have no idea whats wrong!!!

someone said its the alternator, could be the battery or the fuse...

also heard that 1997 civic's dont have speedometer cable and its all electric...

This car has no swap, no mods, just a honda lover.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks for taking your time to look at my forum!

Check the fuses

could be VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). So pull it out and make sure it looks good. Mine did the same thing and I borrowed a buddies speedo to test it but it just turned out my speedo had gone bad, did the same as yours. See if you can find anyone else with a eg, pull ur cluster out and throw theres in to see if thats the problem. And if so then hit up craigslist or ebay for a new one.
