Odometers

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.

Usually not a wheel at all. It's usually fed from a pickup in the transmission.

The odometer has failed. Unfortunately, there isn't realy any troubleshooting involved. The speedometer and the odometer run off the same input.

In a nutshell the above is correct, because to fix it you have to replace it. I own a 1997 Mazda B4000, except for cosmetics....same truck. Found the answer myself today...in the instrument panel there are 3 clusters....the cluster with the tack, spedometer, odometer and trip odometer is where your issue lies....there is a plastic gear that wears out inside...be advised their is a great deal of labor involved in this project....I highly suggest a proffessional do this for you...also due to it being a plastic part, I would rather buy a new part from the dealer than take my chances at the local yard were the part has been exposed to the elements for however long. Their may be other issues involved, but his was my experience

An odometer indicates distance travelled by a vehicle.

On the 1998 Corvette, the odometer is digital. It should show up digitally right under the speedometer.

check the fuse, the speedometer does not run off of a fuse

blown fuse, or it is resetting back to all zeros.

Yes. Polar has one for instance. Probably Suunto and Garmin has too. They're more than odometers though, so be prepared to pay nicely for them.

Means mileage is fishy for some reason.

I had that problem in my 84 and it turned out to be the cable itself

The Trip Odometer is normally reset by pushing and holding the reset button in.

The odometer can not be reset.

Should be in the front left fuse/relay box under the engine hood, will be in the right rear of the engine compartment when looking in

On the panel with the direction and temp-press mode-when you get to the mileage traveled part-press the left button to change it back to miles from kilometers. I played around with it after I did it too, and found out that's how to fix it.

My speedometer works and the odometer does not because there is a plastic gear in the odometer that is broken.

No, it's against federal law to operate a vehicle with a knowingly inoperative odometer. It's the same as turning back an odometer.
