I have a 1995 Nissan Sentra with a faulty speedometer. I have narrowed the problem down to the stepper motor - something is mechanically faulty internally, causing it to stick. I'm struggling to find a new speedometer unit given the car's age, and my local wrecker doesn't have one, but I should be able to fix it myself with a new stepper motor.

 

Any idea where I'd be able to source a stepper motor for this? I can't find the part number of it listed anywhere, but I'm just using search engines, I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion of where to look.

 

Number on the side of the motor: 586Y00 178411 (or possibly 586YOO 178411).

Has your wrecker asked their mates / wrecker network?

 

it’s been a long time since I’ve been to a wrecker, but normally they are part of an alliance and can ask each other over CB radio or nowadays online to see how might have what etc.

 

 

 

Someone somewhere will have this dash.

 

also suggest try googling “denso” parts.

 

 

 

good luck.

Forget my query, I have managed to find a replacement from a different wrecker today. Thankyou.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

@SomeoneSomewhere Is this true - or just idle and malicious gossip? 😀

Malicious perfidy... I shan't be accused of such a thing.

gosh, I pondered what was going on here and now I’ve clicked…. Hahahahah classic.

 

someone somewhere did have the item but not the same someone somewhere from here, it was someone somewhere from somewhere else.
