Odometers

very very rare, but there was an optional GT instrument cluster which only had a 5 digit odometer. The standard clusters always had 6.

The lights on the odometer on a 1999 Chevy Blazer might not work because of a burned out fuse. They might also not work if the lights are burned out.

i think you're a little confused, the odometer is not supposed to turn when cranking the vehicle

It is against the law for you to change the odometer reading. Ask the State Police (Highway Patrol) in your area what the procedure is. Be careful, there's something like a $10,000 fine for changing one.

----It is only illegal if the car is less than 10 years old and only if it is done with the intent of misleading someone to the actual mileage of the car. If you are changing the mileage on a replacement instrument panel to accurately show the actual mileage, it is perfectly legal.

As to how to do it? There are some videos on you tube that show how.

You can't. The mileage is stored by the on board computers.

A speedometer measures speed.
speedometer measures speed kmp.

Drive a couple miles and it will show a different number.

THE ODOMETER IS BACK LIT. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND REPLACE THE BULB. IT INVOLVES REMOVING THE DASH COVER.

A dealer would charge a little over a hundred dollars. The light bulb would cost about $5.

My Saturn dealer told me it is $160.00 to change, because of dash removal, (as of 1/15/06) and most people wait until multiple lights go out. It can still be seen with a flashlight when needed.

check the Vehicle Speed Sensor on the transmission or possibly the rear axle.

if trans shift is affected, then losing signal to PCM from trans if not affected then losing signal to dash or dash itself is problem use scanner to see if VSS is showing speed when dash does not

No, it should keep counting.

The current speed, and the total distance travelled respectively.

You can't, because it is illegal. well that isn't entirly true you can but you wont have a speedometer either.thats all I have to say.

in any vehicle the odometer itself will always remain constant. What you need to aquire is either one of two things. There are after market dials that you retro fit to the dial so that the odometer is also now pointing to miles per hour. The other way is to know what the kilometers per hour are in mph. For example, 50 kph is roughly 30 mph, 96 kph is 60mph.

If your car odo uses a metric odo, then the last digit of the trip odo will most likely be in 1/10 of a kilometer = 100 meters. So watch the last digit while driving fairly slowly and count the numbers.

Depends on what you want to do, and what type it is.

If you've changed wheel size or gearing, and wants the odo to measure correctly, you need to have it calibrated. If it's a mechanical unit, this means that you'll have to change a tiny cogwheel somewhere to one with another tooth count. If it's an electronic odo, you need to use a gadget called a pulse divider, which is quite tricky.

If it's an electronic one, and you've replaced the instrument cluster, and/or the odo, and want the new one to display properly, an authorized dealer workshop should be able to reprogram it for you.

If it's a mechanical one it'll basically have to be disassembled and reassembled to matche the old number, although really old versions can be manipulated by spinning the odo cable with an electric drill.

If you're looking to remove a few miles to get a better price when selling the car - well, that's illegal.

The odometer being Korean has nothing to do with anything. Odometers use the required distance measurement of the country of sale. So, for example, all Korean cars (and other cars) sold in the US will have a display in miles, since that is the US requirement. However, all US cars (and other cars) sold in Korea will have a display in kilometers since Korea uses kilometers.

It is non-servicable, so repair requires replacement of the speedometer/odometer assembly.

Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.

It is a common fault with the EA, EB and ED falcons as well as some Holden Commodore and Nissan models which share the same speedo components. The problem usually occurs when they get to about 200,000kms. What the problem is there is a very small cog inside your speedo which drives the odometer mechanism. This cog loks like something you would find in a toy. What you will find has happened is one of the teeth has broken off it and it can no longer drive the odometer. Because it is a common problem the part to fix it is available just ring around or try ebay. To fix the problem yourself pull out the instrument cluster then undo the screws that hold the front panel (4 fairly short ones on the side and 4 very long ones on the back), remove front panel. Then undo the four centre screws which hold in the speedo. Once you pull it out remove the trip meter plunger and then the needle by turning it carefully in a counter clockwise direcvtion several times until it comes out. Then remove the screws that hold on the faceplate and remove same. The whole assembly will come away. Then undo the two screws that hold on the circuit board and when that comes away you will see the small cog. You will be suprised how small it is. If you have your part then replace it and screw it all back together. When you replace the needle turn it in a clockwise direction and be sure to set the needle on zero.

I have the same problem with my 1995 Rodeo. I lost the speedometer and had a bit of a learning curve. I replace the speedometer gear and it work well for a few days and went out again. It cost about 45 dollars, (For the Gear) I was kicked out of a Isuzu dealer when I went back and talked to a mechanic about the problem. Luckily I managed to get the answer before I was asked to leave.

He mentioned that the gear housing also need to be replace at the same time as the new gear. The reason being that it creates it's own type of wear in the housing. Being that the housing was metal I was bracing for the worst. I was shocked when the metal housing was 22 bucks. The other shocker was that I changed it out just out side the dealership. Its very easy to do, one bolt and it drops right down. I placed the new gear in and then the metal housing and was back on the road in less than 10 min.

So the answer to the question is you need to replace the housing and gear at the same time! I was shocked that it worked fine after I replaced the metal housing that holds the gear in place. I hope this works well for you, it worked fine for me.

PS. I tried a junk yard part first and had problems, buy new its cheaper. Best of luck Paul.

pull black shield over clocks off ,the surround ,it just clips in ,behind that there is 2 torque screws ,slacken them, then the clocks pull owt ,you will c the bulbs then

i guess 999,999 miles ... may depend on kinds of car too

if you need a sentence u can say i used the odometer in my car to masure the distance in miles from Florida to Canada

Not by any sensible, repeatable way, no.
