My odometer stopped working!!!! I really dont wanna spend 300 on a new cluster!!! How can I change my mileage manually??? Im gonna add 15k a year b4 every inspection.....I kno there is a way to do it....

 

why even bother to fix it? it's illegal to change it manually. your trip meter works still?

 

the odometer on cars with a manual odometer is badass, its like a zillion to one gear ratio, it's insane... anyway, it's prolly just suttin stupid like one the gears is busted or suttin to set it manually just turn the numbers with a screwdriver...

 

i kno its illegal to change it manually...there is a prob tho....i got my inspection in a week or so...they read the mileage at 72490...then next year they r gonna read the same mileage???? thats not good!!!! no my trip meter doesnt work either....i think somethin fried......so basically i wanna add like 10k every year so i dont have to file crap with the dmv or anything.....im not planning on selling this car anyways....my bro is gonna get it when i get a new one....so by the time he is done with it, its not gonna be worth selling.....so im not gonna be screwing buyers....drfrank, can u tell me how to exactly change the mileage....i was able to turn the one's digit with a screw driver, but the others were too hard and wouldnt move....thanks alot i appreciate all ur help!!!

 

if both the odometer and trip don't move then the cluster isn't getting the signal from the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) sensor. Fix that out and things may start rolling again.

 

i kno its not the VSS cuz i put a bunch of leds behind my gauges and when i put everythin back together i smelled somethin burning......somethin on the gauges prolly hit some of my power wires for the leds and burnt out the odometer and trip meter....so i jus need a way to throw on like 7k every year b4 inspection.....i aint sellin the car so i wont be screwin anybody...i aint like that ..my bro will prolly take it after me

 

If you take the cluster back out again, you may see a piece of the copper "tape" that runs on the back thin plastic burnt through. If you can locate this piece (there are two layers) you can repair it using this:
