Antenna, Odometer , Cushion, repair needed Options

[Stef914]

Hi there,

I've got some newbie / rookie questions for you all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

1- I have the antenna key but I can't figure out how to lift it... I can twist it around but it still remains down ...ideas ?

2- my odometer & trippometer are not working. Was gonna pull the gauge out myself and send for repair, but before I do that is it easy to disconnect all the cable on the back without any tools ? ( if even doable to taking it apart this way )

3- I was gonna replace the cushion seat but upon lifting it I notice a cable attached to it, ideas ?

thanks

S.

If the odometer/trip miles are broken but the speedometer needle functions to show speed, then either (1) a plastic gear has come loose from its axle inside the speedometer , or (2) the axle that contains the odometer plastic gears has worn an oval shaped hole in the speedometer housing and the gears won’t mesh anymore with the driven gear. I have found option (2) above to be the problem with three different used speedometers I tried before I found a good one.
