Speedometer stopped working

Hi all,

I’ve had a bit of an issue with the speedometer of my Rav 4 (2003, petrol). The speedometer stopped working completely but the Rev counter is okay and there’s no warning lights. The car drives as normal.

Recently, there’s been quite a bit of rain, not sure if that might’ve had anything to do with it. 

Anyone might have any idea what the issue might be?

All help will be appreciated.

There have been reports of moisture getting into the large white connector (it's the connector at the bottom) behind the door pillar kick panel - drivers side. The solution is to disconnect the connector, clean the pins and sockets with switch cleaner and refit. With this fault - the engine light will often illuminate after a while since the ECU might not get a speed signal. If the car has been driven through deep water - the connector to the speed sensor on top of the gearbox can be affected by moisture. Again, remove the connector and clean the pins and sockets with switch cleaner.
