The odometer gears go frequently on Volvo 240's. There is a gear kit with an instructional DVD available from IPD.

I NEED AN ANSWER FOR THE 1997 VILLAGER

I have a 97 Villager and recently had this exact problem. I replaced the speed sensor (i.e. buy one at Autozone) and that was the fix. The ABS light might come on too as a symptom it is not working. Use penetrating oil on the only bolt that holds the old sensor in place(oil penetrates better if the engine is somewhat warm) and then s-l-o-w-l-y loosen it via small back and forth wrenching, else you can snap it off- located in the transmission housing. Put anti-seize on the bolt when retightening it.

My 1999 Honda CRV odometer stopped working while all the oher gauges are fine so if this is a fuse where is it located?

If the odometer has failed, does the speedometer still work? They are both driven by a cable which spins. If the speedometer is still working, than the odometer has jammed. Probably a dealer fix.


What do you do if the odometer on a 1995 Nissan Sentra is sticking?

If the odometer stopped working and the speedometer and cruise control still work, you have a bad odometer. It is part of the speedometer assembly so the whole thing will have to be replaced.


Why will the speedo work on a 1996 Nissan 200sx but the trip and odometer will not?

The odometer runs on the same electronic gear driven sensor as the speedometer so if the speedometer is working and the odometer is not the problem is in the "Speed head" (speedometer unit in the dash). Mine and several others I have seen break at about 40,000 and will need replacing.


What is an odometer and what does it measure?

How do you repair a 1999 Camaro 3.8l with nonworking speedometer and odometer but other gauges work fine?

check the vss located on the tailshaft of the transmission for the speedometer issue the odometer is figured out based on the speedometer also so it will quit as well. this sounds like either the sensor is bad or a short in the wire from it The cord for the speedometer came undone from the transmission or the gauge cluster is bad


How do you repair the odometer on a 2001 Ford Taurus?

It is non-servicable, so repair requires replacement of the speedometer/odometer assembly.

Well both of those are from sensors in the wheels so maybe make sure you are using the correct wheels.


What could be the problem on a 1993 Honda Civic VX If the speedometer odometer intermittently works and you have replaced the speed sensor on the transmission?

The cable that controls the speedometer needs to be replaced more than likely. That is what had to be done to a Dodge Stealth's speedometer to work properly. ==New Answer == Actually - there is no speedometer/odometer cable on a 1993 Honda. The system is all-electrical. So it has to be either a bad wiring harness/plug connector, OR a bad speedometer head (unlikely).


How do you replace the odometer sensor on a 1996 Ford Taurus?

There is no such thing as an "odometer sensor." There is a vehicle speed sensor that is located on the output shaft housing of the transmission. That sends info to the speedometer. From there, the speedometer and the odometer are both operated internally, so if your speedo is working, but the odometer isn't, you have a problem inside the speedo head assembly.


What causes the Odometer to stop working but the speedometer to continue working on a 1992 Crown Victoria LX 4.6L and what actions can be taken to repair this problem?

There are two possible actions: 1) Replace the speedometer head assembly, because that is where your problem is. 2) Ignore the broken odometer and forget about it. The speedometer and odometer are one assembly. The same input that drives the speedo also drives the odometer, so you have a problem in the head itself.


Why doesnt the speedometer and odometer work on my 1988 olds delta 88?

U need a new speedometer cable. It runs from the transmission to the speedometer. They tend to break in half or just seize up after they get so old. They are easy to replace, it takes to people to do it but it is really easy to do. I hope I helped you.


1990 Isuzu Trooper speedometer and odometer quit working?

i have a 1990 Isuzu trooper as well and the speedometer and odometer also quit working, they both come off of a mechanical cable that is attached to the drive train. that cable breaks, and you lose both speed and odometer indications. they are extremely difficult to find, so if you do, write me back...
