 Problems with the speedometer are very rare.  If you are having issues it is most likely that your signal or ground is bad.
 
Verify You Have A Good Common GroundMake sure that your speedo sender and the speedometer have a good common ground.  If in doubt, ground them together on a good ground location.
 
Verify You Have A Good SignalYou can verify your signal by monitoring the pulses that get counted during calibration:
 
 
Enter calibration mode
If you see pulses being counted on the ODO while not moving then you most likely have signal noise.  This can be due to a bad sender or wiring.
Start driving a measured mile at a steady speed and have someone monitor the pulses that are being counted on the ODO display.
If your signal is good you will see pulses count incrementally (not erratic).  The pulses will increment at a faster rate the faster you go, so if you drive a steady speed (i.e. 25mph) you should see the pulse count increment at a steady rate.  If the pulses increment erratically then you do not have a good signal.  Erratic pulse count while driving a steady speed during calibration indicates you most likely have a bad sending unit.
