The odometer quit working, both the total and the trip. The speedometer works fine. How does it work? How do I isolate the problem and fix it? Is there something that typically breaks? A cable, a sender, the gauge itself? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

If your speedo cable checks out, then look at your speedo angle drive. It's on the back end of the transmission. It pulls out easily, after loosening the nut.
Remove it, and turn one end, and check resistance on the other side. There should be very little lash on a good angle drive. They're cheap. Don't buy a used one. Odds are, it'll be as old as the one you're replacing. |
