How to Replace Corsa Speedometers

by Daniel Valladares

The Opel Corsa, also known as the Vauxhall Corsa, is a vehicle manufactured by General Motors since 1982. Although popular around the world, the Opel Corsa has never been released in North America. The Corsa's speedometer allows you to see the speed at which you're driving. A faulty speedometer can be a safety hazard, so if you notice that your speedometer isn't functioning properly, you'll need to replace it. Unfortunately, replacing the Opel's speedometer requires replacing the entire instrument cluster.

Step 1

Park the Corsa and turn off its engine. Engage the parking brake.

Step 2

Lift up the Corsa's hood and disconnect its battery with a socket wrench.

Step 3

Open the Corsa's driver side door. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to uninstall the three securing screws underneath the upper portion of the dash panel above the instrument cluster. Remove the dash panel.

Step 4

Remove the four securing screws on the cluster itself using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Use a flat-head screwdriver to pry the cluster out of the dashboard.

Step 5

Disconnect the cluster's three wiring connections at the rear of the cluster. Remove the cluster from the Corsa.

Step 6

Place the replacement cluster with the functional speedometer into the dashboard. Reconnect the three wiring connections.

Step 7

Reattach the four securing screws to secure the cluster. Reattach the dash panel and its three securing screws. Reconnect the Corsa's battery and close the hood.
