How does one fix the trip odometer mine has not worked since I bought the car The odometer works fine go figure. And no I rather not just buy another cluster from the pick and steal rapists.

 

Either its the button or something inside is stuck. You can always take apart the cluster and look to see if the teeth on the numbers are broken, stuck or catching onto something.

 

mine sticks every once in a while..but all i hve to do is push the button a couple times to get it to work

 

mine was getting stuck at #9 and then i kept pushing and pulling it in and out and it was fine till yesterday and it won't work either let me know if you get it working.

 

There are shops that specialize in this sort of repair. They take it apart and fix it and calibrate the speedo while they are at it (if you want). BTW: it is illegal for a consumer to even open the case.

 

Its not illegal for a consumer to open a speedo case, If that was the case I along with many BMW owners would be in jail for replacing a service indicator boards which are located in the speedocluster.
It is illegal to tamper with the mileage, which anyone with half a brain who is stupid enough to try only to get shafted by carfax up on resell. Tampering with the odmeter to set the miles low is a felony.
