Re: Odometer and trip meter not working
So I took the odometer apart , found the plastic gear thats riveted in the unit was broken.
I dont think there is a fix for this unless there is a special tool to remove it or in my case just use a spare odometer.

Re: Odometer and trip meter not working
I had the same problem a year ago and replaced the odometer with one from another car. It was a quick and easy swap and simple to set the new odo to the appropriate miles. Those plastic gears just give out over time and heat exposure. Mine came from a guy on this forum, check the parts listing and EBAY. You may need to get a whole speedo and take the odo out of it.
