hi. my 99' base 5 speed lude's odometer stopped working yesterday. has anyone else had this problem? i will probably tear into it tomorrow. hopefully it is just something simple. if anyone has one for sale. i posted a WTB in the classifieds.

did u try resetting the trip odo? my odometer stopped on my 94 accord before.. and i pushed the trip thing and the odo became unstuck....

did any of the screws in back come loose? Check those maybe

i don't think you should worry about fixing it until you have to sell your car lol

thepreludedude · 06-01-2004, 06:26 PM

ludeguy: nope, still no worky.

ludatic: haven't torn into it yet.

DjChowFun: if i can find a cheap one or fix this one then i will do it. if it is going to costa lot, then i will probably wait

I think if your odo dies, you need to replace that entire cluster, which goes for around $200. I could be wrong though.

i hope not. i replaced it once before (damn indiglos). hopefully i can fix it when i get in there.

if you really need to replace it, you will only need to replace half the cluster, the cluster is split into two halves

Thats what I'm saying. You'd have to replace the Fuel/MPH cluster. One of them is $180, the other is $220 or so I believe. I can't remember exactly.

^yep, you guys are correct.

ludehawk · 06-02-2004, 10:46 AM

hey rog, I have the other one.... but lemme look @ yours first... should be a simple fix. I think the screw backed out on the odo. that's easy. or the button got misaligned somehow and stopped the 'clock'.

yep, i tore it apart this evening. somehow the plunger thingy to reset the trip odometer was misalinged (probably from the rough ****ty roads in dayton). i moved it. everything now works

thanks everyone.
