Odometers

Distance, in kilometers.

With some difficulty.

For mechanical ones you can get cogs with different tooth counts to adjust the readings of the odo/speedo. For electronical ones you can get an electronic circuit called a "divider" that goes between the pickup and the instrument cluster and'll adjust the electronic signal to to the desired value.

Records mileage and speed of the vehicle

Yes, the trip odometer in a Saab 9-5 can be used to track distances for individual trips separate from the main odometer. To reset the trip odometer, you typically press a button on the instrument cluster. This feature allows drivers to monitor fuel efficiency or plan maintenance intervals based on specific trip distances. Always refer to the vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model year.

To fix the odometer on a 2001 Ford E150, start by checking the vehicle's speed sensor, as a malfunction here can affect the odometer readings. If the sensor is functioning, inspect the instrument cluster for any loose connections or damaged components. You may need to remove the cluster to access it; ensure all wiring is intact. If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider replacing the entire instrument cluster or seeking professional assistance.

Requires removing the instrument cluster to access the bulbs behind the panel. This may not be a do-it-yourself project, but if you wish to tackle it, you can consult a detailed repair manual for explicit insturctions.

To switch on the odometer in a Citroën Picasso, you typically need to turn the ignition key to the "On" position without starting the engine. The odometer display should activate automatically when the vehicle is powered on. If it's not displaying, check the dashboard settings or consult the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model year.

Yes, absolutely

To change the odometer display from kilometers to miles in a 2010 Jeep Wrangler, turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Use the buttons on the instrument cluster, typically the trip reset button or the menu button, to navigate through the settings. Look for an option labeled "Units" or "Metric/Imperial" and select miles. Once set, the odometer should display in miles.

Means the odo has been made to show less than the actual mileage. A fairly common trick to make a car look "better" if it is to be sold. It's illegal in many states.

On the 1985.5 and UP Porsche 944, the odometer reset button is just to the right of the instrument cluster set into the left side of the vent, disguised as a fin. Just give it a push and you're done.

However, when these were assembled in the factory, the workers put a dab of grease on the gear to keep it lubed. The problem with this is that the plastic, over time, breaks down because of this grease, which caused it to crumble in your fingers. You would get in your car, drive away and hit the reset button, only to have it not work.

Most folks would blame the fact the car/gears were moving when the button was pushed, but this is not the case. The fix for this problem is to replace the old gear with a newer NYLON gear. It's not a fix for the feint of heart as the whole instrument cluster has to be removed and the speedometer/odometer housing disassembled, gear put in, springs and gears realigned, (clean out old crumbled bits from the Odo gear being replaced) and then put back it all back together again. (Did this on two 944s. Not a hard job, just tricky).

Once replaced with the nylon gear, you should have NO fear of pushing that reset button again.

average miles on a vehicle is 12000 to 15000 a year. so a car three years old would lose value after 45000 miles - would gain value at anything under 36000 miles.

To let you know that it is working and relaying the signal.

Check the fuse box for wiggling fuses, also make sure that the harness is sitting tight.

Replace the instrument cluster and have someone set the odometer correctly or you could face jail time.

Start with the vehicle speed sensor the feeds the speedometer and odometer.

Also look at the Brake/Speedometer problem associated with the Windstar recall for a leaking brake pressure switch

Electronic and not cable.

If the interior lights and overdrive are also not working then is a fuse. Look in the owners manual to see which fuse.

i own a 1973 super beetle and when i bought it i had the same problem. we fixed it by replacing the speedometer cable on it. the cable runs from the front, driver-side tire and goes in to the back of the gauge it gets a little tough unless you have tiny hands but that fixed it for me.

Press and hold in the odometer setting button till display shows miles or kilometers
