My speedometer works, my odometer does not.
Did I forget to plug something in? I thought it was driven off the speedo cable. Is the gauge just broke? Went on a 60 mile drive tonight (to class and back again). At the start of the trip the odo ended in 60 and the trip counter was at 0000. At the end of the drive nothing had changed. Zach |

Common problem. A search should turn up detailed instructions on how to fix. You basically take off the metal rim holding the glass on the face of the instrument. this allows access to the innards. Pull the inside mechanism out, and you can see the gear that turns the odometer segments. It is basically just a press fit on the shaft. After some time, the gear just slips on the shaft. On mine, I removed the shaft and used some cutting pliers to knurl the area where the gear fits. Then, with a little epoxy, I reinstalled the gear on the shaft. Then reassemble. JoeO
