Hey guys. My odo, trip odo, and tach has never worked in my car since I bought it a few months ago.

How do I go about fixing it? Does it just need a new cluster? Thanks

i have a similar problem--my odo doesn't work. i posted this thread before and the answer i got was that i needed to replace the entire cluster. i don't know how ione would go about adjusting the odo to reflect the actual milage, though.

really it is just something u have to live with i guess. mine went bad a while back and i had to replace the whole cluster. i went from having 120K miles on the speedo to 160K miles, and the odometer is broken on this one too. i dont know how we could go about fixing it but if someone knows how i am all for trying it.

That's because you spelled G A U G E wrong

Actually, I had a shop replace my trip ODO once, and it wasnt very cheap.

All you need to fix the odometer are two plastic gears that go bad in the cluster. The only place I found them was at ODOMETERGEARS.com. They cost about 54 dollars shipped and are very easy to install.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing.

Take it apart and see what's broken. We would only be guessing since it could be a number of things.

Usually the gears are stripped, broken or missing. Who knows what the previous owner did to the car.

OK, thanks.

Its a one owner car, and it was a lady, so I doubt it was messed with too much. Looked like the origional plug wires on there even (when i bought it).

OK, so that may take care of the odo...but what about the tack and the trip odo? Its like a lot of things wrong at once. What all does the odo gear do? Does it control all that stuff?

Ill tear into it this weekend. Thanks for the help.

The trip meter is connected to the odometer. You will see once you get the cluster apart.

My tach was messed up before. I just pulled the tach motor from a v6 cluster and put it in mine. Problem fixed.
