How do you hack a digital odometer?
Generally on a digital odometer the mileage is stored in an eeprom chip, this chip can be reprogrammed provided you have the right tools. However you should be able to take your odometer cluster out and disassemble it to get to the eeprom chip - not an easy task for everybody. Many Companies will also "recalibrate" your odometer and charge a fee for the service.
Machines and reprogrammers for doing this are available in China at various prices.
It goes without saying that reprogramming a digital odometer is illegal in most, but not all cases.
How do you fix a speedometer on an 88 f-150 and will this fix the odometer and trip meter?
The speedometer cable drives the speedometer and the odometer/trip meter. Fixing one should take care of the others.
The speedometer cable runs from the back of the dash down to the tail of the transmission. There is a bolt (7/16 head) holding the cable assembly to the side of the transmission tail. Clean off all the dirt, then remove the bolt and twist/pull the assembly out of the tranny. Check the gear on the end. The teeth should not be excessively worn. If the gear looks OK, carefully place the round end of the gear in a electric drill and run it backwards while someone is watching the speedometer. This simulates the truck moving. If the speedometer works, the problem may be the gear inside the transmission.
If you can, take a flashlight and look in the hole the gear came out of (we had plenty of space...it's a truck). You'll see another gear inside. It should be straight across the gears. If it is worn curved, the two gears may not mesh and the speedometer won't register any movement, which was our problem. Note the color of the gear. You'll need to know it when you buy the new one, and they're not available at local parts houses, only the dealer. Dealer said these wear out before the more easily accessible side gear. Go figure...
To change the inside gear (plastic, about $15 at the dealer), you have to remove the driveshaft. Before removal, you may want to drain some oil out of the tranny (drain is on the side near the bottom of the main tranny body). We had our back wheels on ramps, so we didn't have any oil come out. If the truck is level, be ready for oil coming from the tranny if you don't drain some. Remove the two bolts holding the transmission mount to the transmission tail. Jack up the transmission body so that the tail is just clear of the mount. Remove the four bolts holding the tail assembly to the main body of the transmission. Carefully remove the tail to the rear.
The gear is held on with a C-ring. Buy special pliers to remove it. It will save you loads of time. We spent an hour trying to remove the ring before we broke down and spent $23 on the pliers. Took about 1 minute with the right tool. With the C-ring removed, slide the gear off to the rear. As you start sliding it, watch for the ball bearing that fits in a hole on the shaft. It's what holds the gear from spinning on the shaft.
Install your new gear by holding the ball bearing in its hole and sliding the groove in the new gear over the ball bearing.
You may want to replace the driveshaft seal in the tail, since it is out and accessible. Reinstall the tail, using RTV after cleaning the mating surfaces. Drop the tranny back onto the mount, reinstall the bolts holding the tail to the mount and put in your driveshaft. Reinstall the speedometer cable/gear to the tail. Add oil if you drained any. Fill plug is above the drain on the same side.
Took quite a while, but speedometer works great now. .

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.
Why does it say no bus in the odometer display?
The "bus" is the communication system between computers on the vehicle. "No Bus" is an indicator for a failure in the system. You will need to take in for repair unless you have access to a scan tool, multimeter, and good wiring diagrams. The failure could be in any computer, wire, connector, etc.

How do you get your speedometer to work on a 1991 Toyota Tercel?
I got mine to work by sticking my hand way up behind the dash and pulling the cable out of the meter. (This involved laying on my back with a flashlight with my butt in the front seat....not the most comfortable position.) I cleaned it up and reinstalled it making sure that it went in all the way. I than went to the other end and took it out of the transmission. It looked like someone previously had tried to make it stay in by wiring it down. It looks like there should be a screw that holds it in. I reinserted this as best I could and now the speedometer works. It looks like whoever worked on it before hadn't put the cable in properly or it had come loose. The woman I bought the car from said it had never worked and that she was quoted somewhere around 200 dollars to have it fixed. This cost me nothing other than time.

How do you replace odometer light bulb in 2002 Saturn L200?
Below the instrument cluster is a trim piece that goes across the width of the instrument cluster. Remove the 4 screws then remove the trim piece.
Remove the screws that retain the instrument cluster, then carefully pull the instrument cluster STRAIGHT BACK. The instrument cluster plugs in to a matching socket in the dashboard. Be certain that the pins do not get bent.
It's a good idea to replace all of the bulbs once one burns out. The rest will be failing soon.
There are two types of bulbs used in the dashboard, they might only be available at a GM dealership.
Replace all of the bulbs.
Carefully push the instrument cluster back into the dashboard, then test the lights and make certain that the instruments and indicator lights work before putting everything else back together.
Replace the trim ring around the instrument cluster.
Replace the bottom trim piece...
Done.
... at least, that's how it works on the 2000 LS

The head unit pulls out with out unscrewing anything. You need two wire hooks to pull the head unit from the housing towards the steering wheel.It's a press fit in the dash panel.It is advisable to remove the steering wheel to facilitate removal. With SRS in the steering wheel you must disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes before removing the SRS to prevent deployment of the air bag. You will also need to have the radio code to code the radio after reconnecting the battery. Due to the complexity of the unit it is advisable to replace it with a used unit.
