Odometers

Replace the Distributor, i did this on my 87, and my speedo started working again.

no, it runs when the car does.

Yes

Remove the instrument cluster and replace the resistors on the circuit board. You can get them from radio shack, an it's not hard to do. While you are in there, I would recommend replacing all bulbs and stepper motors to your gauge needles so you won't ever have to take the cluster out again.

I have been told that the cluster is essentially "throw away". Beware of scammers when looking for a replacement. I was quoted $500.00 (including programming)+ $350.00 for installation. I went to the wreckers and got a cluster for $60.00. Disconnect the positive battery terminal. After snapping off the small plastic trim underneath the windshield, snapping off the vent cover on the dashboard, removing about a dozen, "easy to get at screws," the dashboard easily lifts out of the way. All you do is unplug the cluster at the back, plug the new one in, and you're done. No programming is required... the onboard computer automatically resets the odometer to the correct mileage. Re-install the dashboard and trim in reverse order. The whole process took me about 45 minutes. It's much easier than one would think.

No way to really tell w/o knowing the exact type and brand of odometer. But usually there's a recessed button on the underside. Poking that with a pen or a matchstick usually resets the unit.

If you mean to delete old mileage and "reset" with new mileage then it is a lot more complicated than above method, you will need to disassemble the odometer cluster and with the aid of special hardware/software/programmer recalibrate the mileage to your requirements. This job is not easy for those unfamiliar with it, and in most but not all cases is illegal.

I have a 94 and it is electronic. You have to remove the gauge assy and the odometer unit is inside. There is a place on the internet http://www.dashusa.com/ford_trucks.htm that can send you one with your current milage already dialed in. They quoted me $275.00 trade in and you have to perform the work.

Ignore the Truck part, My cougar and Ford truck odometer failed, and I found this place while researching the truck. They do handle most all cars/trucks.

More than likely, it sounds like your odometer cable has been disconnected or is failing. A new odometer cable can be picked up at any auto parts seller.

this just informs the DMV of the actual millage on the vehicle when it was bought or sold. This information is usually saved in a database tied to the DMV database and can be looked by a future potential buyer. So essentially with older vehciles a lot of odometers only read to 99,999 miles then turned over to start over from zero. So this keeps people honest, if the vehicle is bought new then sold at 70,000 miles a person drives it another 70,000 they couldn't sell the car as having 40,000

There is not any fuse on any car that will disABLE THE ODOMETER. I

there is no carburetor on a 97 dodge there is an fuel injection system which is the whole top of the engine and there is diagrams and specifications in chilton which you can but at oreilly or auto zone for about 20 bucks.

It does not have a cable. That is an ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION and it has a speed sensor in the drivers side of the transmission tail shafthousing that is round in shape and has an electrical connector pluged into it and is held in place with 1 small bolt.

i am going on past experience here, but newer dashes(instrument panels) are all digital and just plug into a holder or wiring harness,the days of speedometer cables are basically gone forever.So,disconnect battery and find shroud screws and remove cover,then find instrument cluster screws and undo,cluster should then come out,look on back side for wiring plugs.

get a good eye loop and be in well lit area and inspect the pins were they are soldered into the board.If you find a solder connection that looks like it has a round crack or i/2 round crack then there is probably the problem.This called a cold solder joint.You can resolder if you know how or find an electronics buddy who knows how to solder and let him/her do it for you. If you have instrument with digital numbers it is on possibly the digital display has gone bad,in that case it's junk yard time or purchase a new one.hope this helps.

What year is it? If it's a 97-04 Regal, the problem lies withing the instrument panel board and must be refurbished. DO NOT try to replace the odometer or get a whole new one. You will lose mileage information. I repair instrument panels and I'm willing to help you, contact me at ANCTechnologies at Hotmail.com

An odometer measures the distance a vehicle travels by sensing the rotations of a wheel of a given circumference.

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).

The bus is the communication system between computers on the vehicle. No bus means the system is malfunctioning.

The gauges have to be accessed. The dash nowdays is very fragile and a static electric spark can ruin a bunch of things. I suggest taking it to a garge.

Hey Tony==Either manual or electric spedo if this happens the problem in in the speedo and needs to go to the speedo shop. GoodluckJoe

== == It is plastic gear driven.

There is no cable as in earlier vehicles. Although the output shaft in the transmission still operates the speedometer and odometer, the plastic gear drives a sensor that is plugged into the wiring harness. On the other end, it's included in one of two large connectors that attach to the back of the instrument cluster. No cables!

It sepends on the model of vehicle you are working on.

1996 Ford Contour dash lights can be replaced using a Phillips screwdriver to remove the plastic portion of the dash around the instrument cluster. There are 5 screws that need to be removed, two are recessed in the top outer sides of the plastic just in front of the spedo lense. The remaining three are along the bottom located on the far right side, right center and left sides of the plastic dash/housing. Next remove the five screws from the instrument cluster, 2 on top and three on bottom are very visible. Slide the instrument cluster forward and turn it face down to access the lights on the back of it. Be sure not to scratch up the clear lense on the front when you turn it face down. I think the lights are motorcraft 144's but I am not certain. I need to run out to the ford dealer and pick some up, I will follow up later. One more thing that you will notice is that there may be some open light sockets depending on the amount of equipment that is installed on your vehicle. Don't buy extra lights to put in the empty slots or you will end up with idiot lights on all over your dash. I replaced the working seatbelt light with another ambient light bulb that was burnt out.

Short answer to your question is to specify what kind of car you need to change lights in.

Take Care adn GOD Bless.

the problem is mostlikely in the final drive of the transaxle, or there is a broken axle. from the description, "when you put it in park it makes lots of sound" that usually means the transmission is ok but when the power gets to the differential (inside the transaxle case) it doesnt have anything to "push". when this happens, the output spins freely even though the car wont move. so when you put it in park, the parking pawl tries to lock the output but its still spinning, thus the noise. im afraid youre going to need a replacement transaxle, unless of course an axle is broken.

How much it did odometer infiniti i30 2000

no the odometer is for the car not the engine
