My 98 Caldina is a 1.8L 7A-FE 5spd ABS version.
I think I may have the same problem too.
My LCD odometer is not displaying anything, along with speedo & rev counter not working. This was an intermittant problem, happening for a couple of short period during the last few years. It now appears permanent.
My 5spd caldina does not have a speedo cable or an electronic pickup in the gearbox. Where the cable or speed sensor normally goes has a blank. My gearbox is a C52, C57 or similar, can't remember the exact number, but having had many Toyotas I'm familiar with this box & where the speedo normally connects. When I first noticed the problem, I only saw the speedo not working & this was the first thing I looked for. I assumed that it must be getting the speed signal from an ABS computer or similar, and until recently had been thankful it was an irregular problem.
I've pulled out the cluster & checked for broken or scorched/burnt components. I've disconnected & reconnected plugs there & at the engine computer behind the glovebox (pull out the plastic glovebox hinge pins for easy access). I've checked for voltage & ground at the cluster. There are two fuses which are not blown, labelled something like gauges & panel (fuses are behind pull out cubby hole to the lower right of the steering wheel, similar location as most toyotas I've had).
Hoping for a miracle answer please. I've got until the end of the year to solve this, when the car must pass a WOF, & needs a functioning speedo (I don't want to have to install a GPS or bicycle computer).
