You have to replace the cluster with a metric cluster.
Replace the instrument cluster and have someone set the odometer correctly or you could face jail time.
There is no such thing. The odometer is electrically driven from the PCM via the vehicle speed sensor. If the odometer has failed you need to replace the cluster.
As far as I know, you have to replace the cluster.
probably broke cluster,needs to be replace
Replace the instrument cluster.
remove dash replace bulb(instrument cluster)
Sure, but at some effort. You need to remove the instrument cluster from the dash to replace it.
I would say you have a problem with the dash cluster. If both speedometer and odometer were not working I would say the problem may be the speed sensor but being only the odometer is out I would blame the cluster. I believe you will have to replace the cluster as a whole with a reconditioned unit. This will probably be a dealer item only.
The mileage is stored in the BCM not the cluster, so you can replace the cluster without changing the odometer reading.
AnswerThe 98 Pontiac stores the odometer in the instrument panel cluster. The odometer can be reprogramed either by the dealer or there are companies that will re-program it for you (seach google, there are lots). Or you can buy the odometer programmer for about $1000 but its cheaper to just send the cluster module in. (not only is it legal to reset the odometer; its required in most states when you replace the engine. The odometer is required to reflect the mileage of the engine *NOT* the vehicle)
It's not a light, the odometer is an LCD and the whole unit needs replaced. I have yet to find the parts to do this though. You do not need to replace the cluster. The problem lies within the circuitboard. I repair these clusters for 97-04 century models. If you replace the cluster, you will lose all of your odometer readings, which is NOT controlled by the computer. Contact me at ANCTechnologies at Hotmail.com
