Odometers

The transmission will not shift properly if you try to disable the odometer. The check engine light and abs light will also come on.

A amaller tire will cause the odo and the speedo to read high. It'll look like you're going faster than you are, and that you've travelled longer than you have.

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

because its not :)

If the speedo works and the odometer doesn't, it neeeds to go to the speedo shop as the problem is inside the spedo. GoodluckJoe

TAke it to a speedo shop as something is wrong in the speedo itself.

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.

You don't want to do that. It's against the law.

Odometer is a device to measure the speed of vehicles. So it is also known as Speedometer.

its electronic. No cable

Easy. A motor-ised-bycycle, or mo'bike to shorten it's name is a motor on a bycycle. Evolution changed it since but here is the breakdown.

Bycyles consist of a wheel with a hinge next to it and a longer end that trails behind. Imagine looking at a bycycle from above. The hinge is the place where the front wheel and handlebars, which are one unit, pivots on a joint and the trailing end. The trailing end consists of the main frame, engine, tank, back wheel, seat, and suchlike, all combined in one single unit.

Now for a quick bit of physics. Law of conservation of momentum. If you push the hinged thingy described above, applied pressure to the handlebars, made it turn, in a short while while it will straighten itself out. That's just how it is made. What makes it work is the human rider and his invention. Believe me, too little speed (actually increasing engine power applied to the back, trailing wheel) and the bike will not straighten itself out. You also have to control the thousands of little changes that happen to an object in rolling motion in one plane. You inculcate a sense of two-wheel balance and practise it till it is ingrained in your sub-conscious.

Now that you know the principle and the rider, lets look at the ride (bike).

3 main systems:

1. Fuel System consisting of fuel control, regulation and delivery: That means stuff like the tank, hoses, carburettor or fuel injection in case of newer bikes, and the accellerator or throttle and the cable connecting it to the carb/processor/pump.

2. Mechanical System: The internal combustion engine with attached gearbox and sometimes a kickstart. The carb is also connected to the motor. Incidentally, the frame, seat, side panels, front and rear mudguard are not really parts of the mechanical system. They are fixed to each other as rigidly as possible. Both wheels ride on 'suspension' which uses springs on/in tubes and oil/gas containers to handle road bumps and irregularities. The connection between engine and rear wheel is usually a chain riding on two toothed wheel-sprokets. Finally the brakes are also part of the mechanical system.

3. Electrical System: That means generator or dynamo, storage or battery, spark inducing system for the engine to 'fire' and of course, lights.

These three systems have to work together in appropriate harmony for the bike to work properly.

For the evolution of the modern motorcycle, I suggest just start by pouring over photographs of bikes through the ages.

Answer: You don't. That's illegal. Plus without speed sensor readings the transmission, cruise control and abs systems will not function correctly.

It means your trunk is not closed all the way

If the speedometer breaks, it effects the odometer. Check the speedometer cable it may be broken, even under the insulation.

Depends.

On newer cars it's usually a pick-up that protrudes into the gearbox/transmission. Old cars might have a mechanical drive off a wheel.

needle might be cracked

Divide kilometers by 1.6 to get miles.

This should not be done ,unless the dash has been replaced

clocking a car is a dead bird :)

A 1996 Chrysler Town and Country does not have a speedometer or odometer cable. That signal comes from the transmission output speed sensor.

try changing the vehicle speed sensor on the back of the trans

Another name for an Odometer is a Speedometer, situated right in front of the drivers eyes in the instrument panel./////the speedometer tells you the speed of the vehicle as the odometer tells you the distance the car has traveled the odometer is normally mounted in the spedeometer

This was an unfortunately common issue for these odometers. There is a rather easy to follow walkthrough available at:

http://www.odometergears.com/SaturnGearRepair.html

That same site also sells the gears necessary for the repairs, though I've never needed to replace the larger one.

I did not remove the original answer in case there are some out there that are less mechanically minded.

There's a place in Pennsylvania that rebuilds them. They only do Saturn S-Series, so they know what they're doing. You have to take your cluster out of the car and send it to them, they fix the odometer, send it back, and you re-install it in your car. Much better than getting a junkyard unit, because most of them are already no good, or ready to fail shortly. Costs around $200 + shipping, and well worth it. Their phone # is (717) 665-2937. hope this helps

can a car be sold with a broken odometer?

witch one did you change the one in the dash or on top of the rearend

home many miles your car has driven.
the mileage of the vehicle
