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.

What does the odometer of the vehicle indicate?
An odometer indicates distance travelled by a vehicle.
Is it fine to change an odometer?
No. In most states it is a crime to tamper with a vehicle's odometer or hour meter.
You can however replace/repair a defective odometer if you document it.

WHY IS Odometer on 2000 caddy is going crazy?
I assume you mean reading all over the place, such as 0 to 160. If that is the case and you are going say 30? the culprit is most likely a ground wire located in the front of the engine at the alternator. It is either broken or breaking. It wont be charging your battery so get pulled over relatively soon.
Why doesn't the speed odometer work on your acura integra?
probably broke cluster,needs to be replace
Why would the odometer on a 1990 Dodge Ram quit working while the speedometer continues to work?
If you open the odometer, there are two small plastic gears. One is connected to the speedometer, the other to the odometer. The speedometer gear drives the odometer gear. In all likelihood, one of these gears is missing a few teeth. I have the same problem with my Ramcharger, same year.
How do you fix a odometer on your 1995 Nissan 200 se-r?
This is based on my experience with a 1995 200 sx se. I assume they are similar. The se uses the 1.6 engine and the se-r the 2.0. engine. 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 but first; If neither are working try to set your Cruise control. If it "goes wild" with clicks etc. and does not work the problem is likely the speed sensor located on the transmission. Find it on top on the transmission rear the fire wall. One set screw hold a small retaining plate. Remove it and pull straight up. The nylon gear wears out and causes it to not contact the drive gear anymore.
Im not sure why but i now it can cause my father has a old ford f-100 and he got a ticket for going 67 around a turn and theres no way it tops out at prolly 50. Or was there a car in front of u when u got pulled?
Yes it can! I have a 1998 ford Ranger, it wasn't "right" straight from the factory. There are a variety of reasons including wrong size tires, worng gear in tranny on older models, defective instrument cluster. I am sure there are more reasons.
Recently a relative have a brand new 2004 Ford clocked at 5 mph over what the speedometer said the car was traveling. The dealership had to reprogram / replace the computer brain AND reprogram the door remotes for the car.
yes! many things can and will go wrong with a speedometer cluster digital or analog, try www.prospeedo.com they can help answer any speedometer related problems.
IT the back of the speed cluster the spring is war out GO to the junkyard easy fiX
Why does odometer come on in dodges when door opens?
So you can check the mileage without having to turn the key on. It's more of a convenience feature than anything.
How do you reset a Chevy Impala odometer?
Odometer tampering is an illegal practice and a serious crime. So it might be better for you to see an authorized dealership to have anything done with your odometer.....
Why does it say trip a on your odometer on your eclipse?
Most modern cars will have two trip odos, the A and B odo. As opposed to the main odos these are easily resetable. They can be used to measure two separate distances simultaneously.
Let's say you're going on a drive lasting several days, and you reset both odos at the start. If you leave the A odo running, it'll record the total length of the journey. If you reset the B Odo each morning, it'll give you the distance driven each day.
Why did the speedometer and odometer stop working in a '93 Civic LX?
I believe that ur speed sensor is going bad to find this sensor, it rests on top on the transmission. This informs the PCM of the vehicle speed.Once this goes bad ur speedometer and odometer will not function. a screwdriver and small wrench shud remove this and install new one in same manner
How do you turn back the odometer on 2008 Caddilac Escalade?
Don't even contemplate doing this. It's illegal and is a (felony) to tamper with the odometer (mileage) of any car in the US. The odometer registers the miles driven by the vehicle, and to change that reading is a crime. If you change out the engine of a car, it will have no effect on the official mileage of the car. If you change out the transmission, it will also not affect the mileage, because the odometer is a self contained unit, that is designed to be tamperproof, so underhanded car dealers and private sellers can't 'reset' or lower the mileage shown on the odometer. Older cars can have their odometers cracked open and rolled back by hand, but again, this is VERY illegal, and if you're caught trying to sell a vehicle with an odometer discrepancy, it means jail time and a hefty fine. When someone replaces an engine, the car still has the same mileage, but the selling point becomes that there are only so many miles on the rebuilt engine. My advice, there's no legal way to reduce a car's mileage, and the consequences for trying to do it illegally are so great, it's not worth it. Forget this idea for whatever reason you may want to do this. It is not only illegal but is immoral also. You are a thief and a con man when you do this.
If your speedometer on a 1989 Dynasty works but the odometer doesn't work how do you fix it?
Apparently this is somewhat common. It happened to me and I haven't fixed it yet. You could buy another cluster from a junkyard and hope the mileage matches approximately so you can just stick the whole thing in, or you could try to harvest the little motor from the junker cluster and solder it onto your cluster.
How do you repair the odometer on a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire?
FriPilot
---
I've repaired mine.
Let me guess....the digital display is flickering...right? It's cold solder on the LCD display. Here's what I did to fix it:
Remove whatever you need to to get to the cluster module (or whatever it's called). Take a look at the PCB. There should be a row of pins from the LCD display....and some of them should be loose. You'll have to resolder them....but it's trickier than it seems. First, there's some nasty conformal coating on the PCB wgich is very thick and needs to be removed around the pins before soldering. And second, either the LCD display pins or the solder pads (can't remember which) are made of a metal that is very hard to solder. Rosin flux didn't work very well....but it helped. Just try to use low heat if possible...or the solder will start to bead and fall off. Frustrating. But after all that, reinstall the module and it should work.
Unfortunately for me, when I reinstalled the module in my dash, the light bulb behind the odometer burnt out shortly after. This really sucks because not only do you have to uninstall everything again, but you have to remove the LCD display just to get at the tiny light bulb. So if that happens to you, it's a small 9v bulb....not easily obtainable locally. You'd need to order them though a supplier like DigiKey.
Good Luck.

Just bought a 99 Sunfire Gt. It had the odometer light out.
I pulled out the gauge cluster and on the back is a steel cover.
Remove the cover. Then where the odometer is you will see a red clip, turn to the left and remove it. It as you will see is a bulb. You can rip on off another one at the wreckers or. You will need to go to Parts Source and get the smallest(closest match in size) 12volt bulb $2.00 and then go to an electronic repair shop and have them solder in the new bulb $4.00. (you can have them solder it direct to electronic board, that's what I did).
By the way DO NOT USE AN LED OR A SUPER BRIGHT
Just tooling around on my sunfire and figuring things is what I do best.
A new gauge cluster is what everyone told me...bull I have done this repair and it works like new, beeen working
