Where is the odometer fuse on a 2001 Harley Sportster?
Next to your battery you will see a triangle shaped cover with 3 screws in it, remove that to access wiring, fuses, etc.
What would keep the engine of my 1991 Chevy chyenne from turning over?
you must first ck the engine battery system also you must ck the battery cables to be sure they or not dirty at the battery !!! if at all else fails take small hammer too the starter by tape on the starter and have some else turn the key to start at the same time if the engine starts the starter is bad !!!! the battery may need to be taken out to have it ck if so take the battery to a parts house like auto zone they ck the battery for free in most cases.
If the engine cranks, but doesn't turn over, check your fuel pump. Your engine needs three things for combustion (assuming it is a gas engine), and they are spark, air, and fuel.
Does an odometer measure kilomeres or millimetres?
An odometer measures in kilometers, or miles if the car is relatively old. Millimetres are too small for any registered figures to be meaningful (figures would be a million times what they are presently).
What effect does smaller rims have on odometer?
It changes the ratio between the drive differential and the wheels. Your odometer will read high for the distance traveled.
How do you replace odometer lighting in a Ford Falcon au?

Sounds like the speed sensor on the transmision, or the conector on same. It could also be an under dash fuse. I am not familar with the accord but my civic speed sensor fuse is shared with about four other sensors and the voltage regulator. Hope that helps.
What is the problem if speedometer won't work?
Hi Have you checked to see if the cable has popped out of the back of the speedo? If it appears secure then check under the vehicle to see if it is broken or come loose from the the gearbox. If both ends appear OK then unscrew one end and see if you can turn the spindle inside the cable freely. Sometimes a few squirts of penetrating oil will free it if stuck. If the speedo end spins and gearbox end does not then you may have a broken cable ...time to buy a new one. Take the old one in and get the best match. Good luck!!
First, I would say to take it to the place where you had the car fixed, if that is not an option , you could check if the cable for the speedometer is loose. This is located behind the guage cluster, you should be able to see it if you get underneath the stering wheel, it will be a black thick (about 1/4 of an inch) and it will run through the firewall and into the transmission. Make sure that it is tight at both ends. If that is not it then you might want to replace that cable, you can usually get it at any auto part stores. Hope this helps. Good luck
Why does the odometer stay on after turning engine off?
The odometer stays on for a while so that service personnel have time to record the mileage when, say, getting your oil changed. It uses very little power.
Why would a 1988 Chevy Silverado's speedometer work if the odometer will not?
PROBABLY one of the little tiny itty bitty gears has stripped
What is measured by the odometer?

Why isn't the gear indicator light not coming on when you start your rodeo?
shift module on side of trans. Mine does same thing and shifts super hard when light not on. Cut off vehicle and crank again until light comes on. Taken mine to shop at least twice and the problem is really sporadic so they couldn't get it to do it and refused to fix it if they couldn't witness the problem which is trustworthy in a shop
Why does Ford focus speedo and odometer stop and start working intermittantly?
Some posts seem to point to the battery as the cause of the problem. Get it checked as this is a low cost fix. Others seem to blame the speed sensor.

Why would the digital odometer and RPM meter work intermittently in a 1997 Sebring JX Convertible?
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 i hope this works for you Robert
Where is the odometer fuse on a dodge caliber?
There is not an individual fuse for the odometer. It is powered by the same fuses that powers the entire cluster.
How do you reset the check engine light on a 1999 Camry using the trip odometer button?
As far as i know you dont. You will most likely have to disconect the battery or have the light reset by a auto shop. You could also buy the diagnostic computer and do it your self. You might want to have a auto shop check out why the light is on though as it could be important and could save you a lot of $$ if you fix the problem.
Why does your Dodge Ram odometer say no bus?
"NO BUS" means that the communication system between the computers has stopped working.
Hi I have a 2000 Ram 1500 that had the same problem. For me in the Electrical Power Distribution Center ( The fusebox located in the engine compartment ) I have one big connector with a screw down through it that loosens or tightens the connection. Well for some reason that connector wasn't making good contact with at least one or 2 of the pins. I took that off, cleaned it up, and put it back on and everything worked fine. I'm going to clean it better with contact cleaner and coat it with some dielectric grease and see if it stands the test of time. From what I've gathered from many peoples posts is that this specific problem generally seems to be some kind of electrical contact problem and not the Computer or any other major part. Hope this helps someone.
Answer I had the same "no bus" all gauges dead on my 2000 ram 1500. after looking at all the different answer posted I tried all of them and the one that worked. Was disconnecting the main plug held down by a screw in the fuse box on the engine compartment. I disconnected, blew the plug and the connect with compressed air, plug it back in tighten the screw and my truck is fine again. Everyhing works as it should. thx Answer My father in law just had this problem and discovered, with the help of our local mechanic, that there was a short (or a loose connection) in the steering column, possibly caused by the fact that my father in law adjusts the steering wheel every time he gets in or out of the truck. The wires in the steering column are bound quite tightly, and do not allow for the vertical movement of the steering column. Total cost of the repair was $60 cdn. and a case of beer. Answer your computer is dead.
a "bus" is what the main information transfer lines in a computer are called.
"no bus" means no information transfer.
that one is gonna be SPENDY. most likely a couple thousand dollars. Answer This does not have to be a computer problem. This can also indicate a loose fuse or a simple bad connection. The bus is simply the ground for the electrical devices in the vehicle. It's a fundamental rule: go for the simple stuff before you spend a pot of money on the complex. Answer Had a similar problem and the parking brake was the problem and needed adj-. A simple nudge until hearing the parking brake "click" was a quick temporary fix. Only difference was my truck would not start until this was done.
Make this simple for everyone NO BUS gauges not working is a aggrevating problem. However when you fix it you'll kick your self for how easy it was and wont cost you but maybe 5.00. heres the basic your main fuse panel under the hood has a screw in it with a huge contact. that contact has gone bad/ dirty take out the screw blow out the contact with compressed air pack it with electrical grease put it back in put the screw in TIGHT HAND ONLY and watch all your gauges come back to life. I got a great mech here where i live and after 2 diff dealerships telling me buy a new cluster i knew someone was full of it. then one said my brain was dead . MINI NEWS FLASH IF YOUR BRAIN IN YOUR TRUCK IS DEAD YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT START! again very simple 30 mins fix had this problem off n on for 6 years in my 99 ram which i still have and drive on weekends mine is 1999 V-6 with a super chip i take out to joy ride. do what i said above an your problem will be solved. i haven't had another issue with mine in over 2 years and have gone about 14000 miles without gauges failing
Answer
For me on a 99 2500 dodge ram with NO BUS
Dodge dealer had it 5 times & said it was fixed, would last from one week to about a month. Then they said I needed a new instrument cluster that they would sell me for $1200.00. I did not do that and I was going to fix it myself, it was the connectors on the back of the instrument panel. I took the instrument panel out then removed the wiring connectors from there holders in the back of the dash. Then I put the instrument panel back in on an angle so I could get my hand in behind it to hook up the connectors on the back of the instrument panel then pushed the instrument panel all the way in, put the screws in. I have had no trouble with it since.
ANSWER:
I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, and I have tried all of the above, mine reads "no bus" none of the gauges worked or the windshield wipers. I found my problem to be in the ignition switch, you just have to work with the key (jiggle it while still in the switch) a little bit and all the gauges will start working again. there are two parts to the switch the key part and the electrical part. all of the electrical for the gauges runs through the switch. It has just turned over 40,000 miles and the warrenty has ran out on it.
ANSWER:
I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport. The power distribution connector is located under the dash next to the parking brake instead of the engine compartment. I cleaned the connector and it still didn't work but while working on it I wiggled some wires around it and my instrument cluster began working for a while. TurnS out that the bus wires to the fuse box were jammed in the parking brake lever. Cost to fix: nothing.
ANSWER: On my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 the "no bus" problem was a broken connection on the ground wire (with a yellow stripe..possibly to gauges?) connection that is mounted in the same spot as the ground that comes from the battery itself. Once fixed, cost zero, truck started right up
Can you change the mileage on a BMW odometer?
Yes. It can be done, but it is quite difficult - because it is made to be so. Changing the mileage on an odometer of any motor vehicle is against the law in most (if not all) states. And for exactly the reason you think it is. When it comes to "doing the right thing" and all, there really isn't a good reason to "roll back" an odometer. Make choices wisely and well. Some mistakes have a nasty way of coming back to haunt the person who made them. And some mistakes, if they are ever attached to the individual who made them, are all but impossible to detach - even though one might try for the rest of his life....

What is the meaning of a and b on a odometer?
Usually, they're two different trip odometers. First there's the big odo, which counts total number of miles and can't be zeroed. Then there's trip A and B, which can be zeroed and lets you measure two different journeys.
Let's say youyou drive one road to a place, and another one home, and you want to see which is shortest. At the start, you engage and zero odo A.For the return journey you engage and zero odo B. Back home you can toggle between them and seewhich was shortest.
