View Full Version : Speedo Working, Odometer Working On And Off...

Like the title states, my Speedometer is working fine (well, the MPH is off a few), but my odometer is working on and off, mostly off. Once in a while it'll add a few more miles to it. Any ideas on where I should start? Is this issue definitely confined to the gauge cluster, or could it be some where else?

Thanks,
Nick

yep its definitely the cluster, there is a small gear for the odometer that got stripped or the gear is loose on the shaft. It happens because of repeated reseting of the trip meter while moving. you can swap the parts from a working one if you want or there is a writeup somewhere on how to fix it. keep searching.

Well, I pulled the cluster, and used this thread to access the odometer:

There is no problem with the gearing or anything (after pulling the motor I rotated it by hand), so either I have a bad motor or a bad connection some where.

BTW does anyone pull those blue condom things off of their light cluster. I would think it would make the gauge cluster brighter.
