There are two possibilities for a failed odometer, when the speedometer keeps working.
1) First is a worn out or loosened gear in the odometer section of the gauge. There are various videos around on the Pelican Parts website and other sites about how to fix a loose gear in the odometer section of the gauge. Obviously, a gear with worn out teeth would have to be replaced. 2). The Second cause of a failed odometer is that the steel shaft which supports the row of odometer gears has worn the pot metal support arm in the gauge oval, and the odometer gears no longer contact and mesh with the drive gear because of the ovaled out support arm. I have not learned of anyone who can fix this type of problem, but I have encountered it on several used speedometer gauges that I gave purchased over the years. This type of wear seems to cause the odometer to stop working aroung 70 to 80 thousand miles. |
