post, and a link is provided.

Strictly speaking, the odometer of an automobile counts revolutions of the wheels. The practical application is in its use for measuring the distance the car has traveled. Our crack automotive engineers know how to derive distance from wheel revolutions, because they know the diameter of the tire, and they know how to use the diameter to calculate how far the wheel rolls with each revolution.

How do you repair the speedometer odometer on a 1989 New Yorker?

I am assuming that you have the analog style gauge cluster. What you would do is you would take the gauge cluster out of the dashboard area. Then, you would install a new gauge. If you cannot do this, I would check the internet and find a new Chrysler New Yorker gauge cluster. I believe that you could use either a digital cluster or an analog cluster, but I would use the same type that your car curently has. Good Luck! I hope that this helps.

Your odometer light had gone out on your 2000 buick century how do you fix it?

Get at the dashboard. Messy disassembly requires some patience, but you will eventually get to the burned-out bulb.

Addition:

It's more than likely NOT the bulb. The problem lies within the circuitboard itself. Contact me at ANCTechnologies at hotmail

Could the speed sensor be the problem that makes the speedometer fast and the odometer not work at all on a 1997 Accra cl?

Yes, the speed sensor could be the culprit for a malfunctioning speedometer and odometer in a 1997 Acura CL. If the speed sensor is faulty or sending incorrect signals, it can cause the speedometer to read inaccurately while preventing the odometer from registering any distance. However, other issues, such as wiring problems or a defective gauge cluster, could also contribute to these symptoms, so a thorough diagnosis is recommended.

What happened if odometer wire is diconected from transmission?

That depends on the year, make, and model. Most newer cars do not have a dedicated speedometer or odometer wire. The speed sensors are also used for shift timing. If it as old enough vehicle that has a dedicated speed sensor the speedometer and cruise would also not work. Some vehicles, such as 1998 on up Dodge trucks, use the abs sensors for the speedometer and odometer.

Is there a way to change an odometer?

Sure, but at some effort. You need to remove the instrument cluster from the dash to replace it.
