So I installed my Daystar lift today and love it. The problem I'm currently having is that all of my lights are on and I have no speedometer. Any ideas on what could be messed up? I checked everything under the TPIMS for the connections and everything was plugged into the correct location and securely fastened. Any ideas????

Who did the install? There shouldn't have been anything electrical disconnected or messed with...

One of the 2 front ABS sensors either was not hooked up or the sensor/wires got messed up.You need the StarScan to confirm which one(dealership only).

I did the install. The instructions stated to remove the battery and TPIMS unit in order to reach the driver side strut. I also had to take the air box out on the passenger side to access the strut on that side.

Is this also going to fix my speedometer? Is there something that might have happened in or around the caliper that might have jolted something that maybe I just need to plug back in or something?

Well I don't know much but, I would do what tjkj2002 said. The other thing I would do just to see if it would help before taking it would be press the trip and hold, put the keys in and turn the switch to the ACC or the start position then depress the trip button, the cluster will light up and the speedometer will start to move, let it do its thing and once it finish, try turning it on. I think this is a way to reset the cluster.

Your speedo is run by one of the front 2 ABS sensors.

Look at outer CV joint,around the hub bearing area you will see a thick black wire coming out of it,that is the ABS sensor wire,just follow it.The sensor in the hub bearing is very fragile.


Though it could also be as simple as you blew a fuse or something in the fuse box area,I would triple check that area again just to make sure.Maybe you plugged in the ABS connectors to the wrong sides.

So I went out and checked all the fuses dealing with ABS and they all appear to be fine. The lights that I currently have on are the check engine, ABS, ESP, and Brakes. I also noticed that the passenger airbag is not on as well now. I attempt to push the ESP button and nothing happens. I pull the Ebrake and nothing happens. As far as the sensors go, I haven't had a chance to quite look at those. I turned the wheels and looked at the wiring but I couldn't see the sensors anywhere. I'm going to crawl back underneath it later on today. I know the passenger side took a beating when we popped the upper a arm off. It dropped pretty hard but was being held on by a black wire leading to the caliper. I'm assuming that's the brake fluid? It's the thickest wire running down to the wheel. Could that have something to do with it?

So I just went to Auto Zone to have them plug the computer in to check out the error codes that were showing up. The computer won't even turn on so they told me that there was a blown fuse somewhere. We went through all the fuses and the only blown fuse was the Rt Hrn. We replaced that even though we didn't think that was the cause. Are there fuses other than under the hood?

Another thing, I just drove to the store and it's raining. I don't have windshield wipers. I'm assuming something is messed up in the TPIMS. Once it stops raining I'll be looking into it further.

I think you have it narrowed down. Sounds like one of the connections on the bottom of the TIPM is not seated correctly.

So that's what it was. It was weird. I went out and unplugged all of the connectors and re-seeded them all. Started it up and then I had no instrument cluster what so ever. I then unplugged everything again and re-seeded them all and then everything worked fine. No explanation for that as I made sure the first time that everything went in perfectly straight and tight. I guess it wasn't good enough. Thanks for all the help troubleshooting!

Good news!
When I did my lift install I did not unplug anything. I just moved (rolled) it off to the side.
Glad you are back on the road! :BANANA:
