    Welcome to the forum cdyoder!

    Yep, concur 100% with what Jeep said above-

    My 2 cents is that it is/was probably full of water with that top cover being broken and corroded.

    I bet if you open it up it most likely looks like something that came off the Titanic,from water damages.

    Take the screws out of the backplate and pop the cover off and post a picture of what it looks like inside.

    I can source you parts to get you fixed up, if you are interested

    I will send my direct contact information to your message box

    Welcome to the forum!

    Thanks for posting pictures. It really helps to see what you have going on.

    Looks like you might have an extremely sun damaged LCD, but I can repair that if you need it

    The part that concerns me is there looks like a little bit of condensation residue inside the meter

    You might wanna pop that top cover off and make sure you don’t have water damages because that

    usually destroys the circuit card to the point of no repair

    The top cover looks pretty good though, so you might not have any water in there at all just want to make sure

    I will send my contact information to your message box right now

    I wanted to let all members know that member @Fat Tire has a lead on on a couple NOS

    Honda Speedometers for the Foreman 450S footshift  model 1998-01, absolutely brand new in the box, and one used one with under 300 miles in VGC

    If you have the "black screen of death" common to the 450S, or yours is water damaged and/or non-repairable etc.. and you have found that these are discontinued- I would quickly look him up, I expect they will not be around long

    If I get any requests, I will forward them to him as well.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I should be able to get you taken care of no problem. A few pictures would be quite helpful in determining what repairs you actually need.

    If you could post a few pictures with IT powered up AND your headlights turned on so the back light is illuminated, that would be helpful as well as a few details about what you actually have going on
    I will send my contact information to your message box.

    Hope to see you around the forum

    Hi Dave

    It could be one of two things,

    Your data might have been corrupted and switched over to KMPH, usually, though when this happens, your numbers become astronomically, high or low, or revert to all nines or zeros and sometimes you will lose the gear position indicator

    If it is corrupted, it can be reprogrammed to read properly

    OR- you could have a metric model speedometer

    I see them a lot in Canada, wasn’t sure if the UK used all metric on their speedometers as well, but that could also be the case

    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    The green neutral light is common to burn out -

    Are you sure your reverse light is not working?

    it’s very uncommon for the red ones to burn out

    Send me a picture of your screen with it powered up and your headlights turned on so that it’s illuminated and I can tell you what you need to have repaired

    I will send my contact information to your message box as well

    The problem with cracked lenses is it usually lets these things get full of water and completely destroys everything inside, but Its hard to tell without seeing everything first

    Post a few pictures or send them to my contact information in your message box

    I’ll send  contact information to your message box now

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    I  repair a lot of these,

    The first thing you want to start with looking at with that big crack on the back plate, is to take the top cover off and make sure you don’t have any water damages inside

    The next thing is you want to check for proper voltages at the circuit card

    You want to make sure that you have 12 V on the red/black wire and the brown/black wire with the key on -the red/black wire is constant power for your clock and CPU, the brown/black wire is your key on power for the CPU

    use the green wire for negative ground

    The speed signal is routed through the speedometer to the ECU and If the ECU does not get the proper speed signals, it will shut down shifting by design for safety

    I will send my contact information to your message box if you’d like to contact me for an evaluation or repair

    I recently helped evaluate one that was in the shop yesterday- was this yours by chance?
