How do you repair the odometer on a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron that is not digital?
Sorry, you can't do anything other than replace the speedometer itself. The speedo is driven by a magnet system which also gear drives the odometer which is tamper proof. Check with a dealer in your area and depending on state law, you may be able to get a used speedo unit from a recycling yard and the dealer will place a sticker on the car verifying actual mileage. ^^ That is incorrect, it is not tamperproof. The way to fix this is to replace the odometer gear itself. The gear costs $28. You need to remove the speedo from the instrument cluster and tear the back of the odometer apart to replace the broken gear. The following weblink explains it in better detail than I could. I did mine in about an hour, but your mileage may vary. http://www.backesfamily.com/TCProjects/Odometer%20Repair/odometer.html

Why doesn't Volvo 850 odometer work?
Hi, You need to replace the odometer gear wheel. It is a tiny plastic gear with teeth that after years of use tends to break. It is a pain to change out but you can do it your self. Go on Ebay there is a seller that has some pretty good instructions for repacing the gear as well as price. Good luck, JQ

1993 Ford Econoline E350 cargo van odometer quit working and I get paid mileage how can I fix it?
Not positive but logically speaking the dash odometer is at one end and the gear or senor in the trans is at the other. Replacing the gear in the trans, if it's gear driven, is just replacing the gear assembly by unbolting it from the trans and disconnecting the cable from that assembly. Check the gear (turn) to see if it turns within it's housing. Not moving, replace. If it turns as it should, it should be o.k.. Replace the gear assembly. Next turn the end of the cable which fits into the gear assembly while having someone else observe the dash odometer to see if it moves (bounce's. If it moves, replace the gear assembly and push the cable down into the gear housing as far is it'll go and secure it with it's retaining clip. Take a test drive to insure it works. Still doesn't work? Try to push the cable further into the gear assembly. If it still doesn't work it still could be the cable but you must remove the cable end at the dash odometer. Don't know how much room there is under the dash of an E350 but the other Ford product I chased this problem on the dash panel around the dash cluster had to be removed. After removing the cluster from the dash, the cable end can be removed easily. You also need to remove the cable from the trans end. Then have someone else hold on to one end of the cable shaft and you turn the cable shaft at the other end of the cable. If it doesn't turn at both ends, replace the odometer cable. Then attach the cable to gear the odometer in the dash cluster. Again turn the cable shaft at the trans end to see if it makes the speed indicator move (bounce. If it moves, replace the cluster, dash panel, and reinsert the cable shaft into the gear assembly and test drive . If it still doesn't work, you'll need to dissemble everything at the dash end and replace the odometer. If the vehicie does not have a odometer cable (instead has a wire cable between the gear sensor in the trans and the dash odometer), remove the gear end connector with the wires attached, clean the pins in that connector with a minature wire brush, bend the tips of the pins slightly, and reattach to the gear assembly and test drive. If it still doesn't work, replace the gear sensor. Still doesn't work, the dash odometer in the dash cluster must be replaced (see above).

Why doesn't the odometer work on my 1986 Mercedes 190E?
The little pot metal gear on the odometer shaft is slipping. The speedo needs to be opened up, and that gear either superglued to the shaft or replaced.
