I replaced my speedo cable as it never worked since finishing my build. It was one of the little things I left for later. Anyway, The speedometer works but the odometer and the trip meter do not move.
Any advise, hits, etc. Is this something I need to send out to N. Hollywood Speedo. I would like to get the guage redone since my tach is nice and new with fresh paint, etc. Let me know what you fellas think could be the problem. |

This Pelican article explains how to fix the Odometer yourself. I attempted it and failed... probably screwed it up worse than before. Someday I'll have it rebuilt.
FWIW, the reason that the Odo & Trip Odo break is that you cannot use the trip odometer reset while the car is in motion... doing so puts too much strain on the gear that drives the odometer and it comes loose. |
