there is probably a broken solder joint on the instrument cluster circuit board. if you look at the circuit card itself there will be 2 resistors that look burned. by them there is a solder joint that connects the front and back of the board. check to see what side is not making connection and add solder to it. it takes a couple hours to do, and the solder job doesnt need to be perfect.
The least count of an odometer is determined by the smallest division or increment that the odometer can measure. To find it, look at the smallest digit on the odometer scale; for example, if the odometer's smallest division is 0.01 km, then its least count is 0.01 km. This value indicates the minimum distance the odometer can accurately record.
The vehicles odometer records the mileage for you.
An odometer.
kilometer/ odometer
A plotting compas (like a pair of compasses used to draw a circle, except both ends have needles) A Metric/Imperial rule also helps but if the map has a scale at the bottom, one is not essential.We measure distance on a map by consulting the scale on the map. It is a small diagram in the legend that sets down some linear measure as a reference. The line will be marked out in, say, miles, tens or even hundreds of miles or kilometers.the scaleyou measure it with a SCALEI'm pretty sure it's called a scale, but I could be wrong.For a "distance" between two points, the ordinary tools are the ruler, tape measure, pedometer, and odometer. For longer distances on Earth, laser rangefinders or satellite measurements would be used. For planetary and stellar distances, astronomical observations can be used to create an estimate, by parallax and by stellar spectroscopy.A scale is used on a map to measure direction.
Most likely the cluster is failing.
If the digital odometer is not displaying its readout or is working intermittently it is a common occurrence that there is a bad solder connection on the instrument cluster.When the digital odometer is not displaying its readout or the digital odometer displays intermittently this problem is frequently reported along with the vehicles tachometer not displaying any readout or working on an intermittent basis as well.The link below shows the steps to repair a bad solder joint on an instrument cluster. It is fully illustrated and not too difficult, took me about an hour from start to finish.http://members.cox.net/dpeters30/97_sebring_dash.htm
For the odometer/tachometer question the answer is in a solder that has come apart. I had the same problem. You have to take the instrument panel out to get at the control board in behind. There are two large blue resistors that surround a soldered connection. I had to solder this on both sides of the board. On the third try I had to disconnect one of the blue resistors to get at the connection. Third time was a charm as the tachometer and odometer have worked since.
because they are broken.
The problem is in the instrument cluster. It needs to be checked out. This is a very common problem with these cars as they age. I have seen a number of them where the odometer was blank and/or working intermittently together with the tachometer. The only reliable solution is to get a new one from a dealer. not trying to make anybody mad but i have the same problem if you take out the cluster then pull off the cardboard from the back there is a small blue resistor it will have a burnt spot where they are you or some one you know could clean it and re solder the contacts i did it and it worked great now hardly any cost to you
Speedometer, odometer, tachometer, clock (maybe).
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
I see that it is a Mazda but what is the year,and model. Just reply but clicking on the discussion and type your response.
You can not disable the odometer by pulling a fuse.
Yes!
A 1996 Chrysler Town and Country does not have a speedometer or odometer cable. That signal comes from the transmission output speed sensor.
If the speedo works, but the odometer doesn't . The cluster needs replaced.
