Ok, still trying to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I've found out so far...

If I rotate the black wheel next the ones digit, it will turn the tripometer 1/10's digit and eventually the odometer's ones digit. There are little white "star" type wheels that turn each digit. If I can turn the little white star wheels with my fingures, the digits won't turn when I turn the black wheel next to the ones digit. Sorry I'm confusing, but I dont know what they're called.

Additionally, there's a white spiral-like rod behind the 40mph marking that's in contact with a black wheel attached to a rod that runs through the digits. I popped out the black wheel and rod that runs through the digits and turned it with my hand. It makes the ones digit turn.

My questions is, is the white star-like rod suppose to turn also? I couldn't turn it with my hand. It's the rod that's coming out of the back of the metal housing.

Please help if you can. THanks

I went to the site you mention (http://diymbrepair.com/. ) Shan and removed the panel under the steering wheel, but then it says to pull the odometer cable an inch or two through the firewall. what does the odometer cable look like? where is it? Thanks for your help.

 

Hi tygger... Logan here. I think you better check your eletrical wirings behind the odometer. Something might just be losse back there.

 

how do you get the instrument panel out, I can get it out a little but not enough. Help please
