It's probably the cable, not the meter. But, yes, a trip to the local garage is called for.

I don't recall the specifics, but do a search on thirdgen.org. On the third gen trip odometers, I seem to recall a small clip that comes loose on the back side of the unit. It holds the cable in place. Seems to be a common problem. Need to fix my own!
