I have an non-functioning odometer and figured one of the gears inside was broken. Following the Pelican DIY article I carefully opened it up expecting to find something broken. I don't see anything out of the ordinary but I've never been inside before.
With the trip reset cable inserted in the speedo port I spun it up with a drill. The speedo works just fine but the mile don't increment on the odometer. The trip reset works when turned except I can never get it to 0000. The "ones" column never turns to 0. Anybody see anthing out of the ordinary or is this just a lost cause? Kev    |

QUOTE(patssle @ Apr 21 2011, 11:06 PM)  What's the fix then? Run masking tape acrosss the numbers to hold them in place. Then gently remove the shaft until the gear is free. I took a pair of vice grips and squeezed on both sides of the gear hole a little at a time until it would hold on the shaft (cue the "that's what she said" or other such comment). Odometer worked well after this operation. I think this procedure is included in the Pelican article. Good luck! |
