speedometer stopped working

Asked by Christina Jan 24, 2016 at 06:05 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The battery died in my car, so I went and bought a
new one. Changed it. Now when I went to drive the
car the speedometer is not working. Does the car
need time to charge up or something?

Something similar happened to me. The speedometer was reading incorrectly after jumping the car. Just unhooked the negative side (black) for 15 minutes to get the cars computer to reset. The speedometer is now back to normal.

Thank you PureSkillz! Unhooking the negative side of the battery worked like a charm on my 2005 Cobalt!
