Reassemble everything and reconnect the battery to test if the odometer functions correctly.

To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor where 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles. Therefore, to change the odometer reading from kilometers to miles, you would multiply the number of kilometers by this factor. For example, if your Ducati 999 odometer reads 999 km, it would be approximately 620.6 miles (999 km * 0.621371).

The speedometer and odometer in a 1990 Chevy Astro Van may not work due to a malfunctioning vehicle speed sensor (VSS), which sends speed data to the dashboard. Additionally, issues such as a broken speedometer cable, faulty instrument cluster, or electrical problems can also cause these gauges to fail. Inspecting these components can help diagnose and resolve the issue.

To fix the odometer in your 1990 Plymouth Horizon, start by removing the instrument cluster to access the odometer mechanism. Check for any broken gears or connections, as these are common issues.

For the 400 watt max power motor, the stock fuse on the Oster, two speed, 4094 is 8amp 250v (not sure if it's a slow of fast burn). After recently blowing my fuse, ran down to Radio Shack and got a replacement. Upgraded the connection by buying a fuse holder and soldered the connections. Works perfectly.

there is probably a broken solder joint on the instrument cluster circuit board. if you look at the circuit card itself there will be 2 resistors that look burned. by them there is a solder joint that connects the front and back of the board. check to see what side is not making connection and add solder to it. it takes a couple hours to do, and the solder job doesnt need to be perfect.

An odometer tells you how many miles/kilometers you have traveled

The old/mechanical type of odometers work by a cable that turns a bunch of gears that create an INCREDIBLE gear ratio. When the cable turns, the cable turns the gear train which therefore turn the numbers. Unfortunately, the great disadvantage of such devices are that they can be roll backwards by using a drill and turning the cable backwards, (or forwards so the numbers can roll back to 0), or just simply driving the car backwards. Also, it's not very accurate.

The newer type of odometers, electronic/computer, work by using two magnets, one attached to the spokes of the wheel, one attached to the car itself. Every time the wheel spins once, the magnets make a close contact and an electric charge is made. A computer inside counts how many contacts are made then calculates the total distance depending on how long the spokes are and how many revolutions were spun.

The above is the same for bicycle odometers, except the computer has to be programmed to the length of the spokes.

For an electronic odometer, it's harder to "rollback" the odometer because the ECU (engine control unit) will store the number. Therefore, if someone tries to "rollback" the number, the stored value in the ECU will disagree; this value can be detected in all car-dealership companies.

The above does not state whether you can hack the ECU so the number will change, or changing the ECU itself with a newer one.
