There is a button located on the bottom of your wiper control stalk; press it until you get your digital speed readout.

Very helpful thanks alot. Btw any fix to this error thats driving me crazy to the point of selling?
Previous owner installed HID lights. Every time u start car and turn on lights speedo drops dead and the e-brake light flashes. I ordered HID cancelers and tried installing thoes but dont work. And once in a while i start car and get off driveway, the abs goes on and i have to pull over and then start again.

has the abs problem always been there? my thought on that is that you need a new brake light switch..... about $15-20 from most places


and by the speedo dropping dead, you mean the tach? starting a car the speedo should be at 0 lol

My hunch is the ballast from the HID lights are causing interference with the abs module. Thats why the previous owner had them all the way at the bottom (hanging), i decided to put them in properly and it started happening.
Ill tell u the steps i take for the problem to happen.
1. Action: I turn car on, i turn lights on. Effect: Brake light turns on, flashes. The speedo does not work.
2. Action: Im driving, i turn on lights. Effect: Brake light turns on, flashes, speedo drops to 0.
3. Action: Car is off, ignition off. I turn light dial to on, start car. Everything is fine.
Now randomly regardless of lights on/off position sometimes the abs goes on and i ahve to pull over and then go again.

You guys will have much more luck posting in the proper categories for your particular models. This is not the thread to find solutions to problems.
