The odometer/trip meter work together via a IC and pulse motor. I just replaced the Instrument cluster in my 94 Corolla DX. I purchased a used cluster that had 230,000 miles showing( mine was 199,000). It' a "plug and play" system, electronic analog. The cluster I purchased the trip meter didn't function, I removed the speedometer from the cluster and applied some silicone spray to the plastic gears and now it's working, (the plastic gears are very fragile and after many miles and years they are prone to breakage). If you are lucky this might be a solution, If not buy a used instrument cluster and install it yourself and hope for the best (used). I didn't have a tachometer on my original cluster so I purchased a cluster with a Tach. The 94 DX and LE should be "plug and play",not sure about the CE. The change is quite simple tow screws remove the bezel, 4 screws remove the cluster, unpluy the connectors, 2 white 1 blue.The cluster was $55.00

1993 Taurus the odometer and tripmeter quit working

There is a plastic gear in the speedometer that eventually breaks on mechanical speedometers called an odometer drive gear. This will involve removing the speedometer from the instrument cluster in the dash.

I WANT TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHT MAINT REQ IN THE DASH

Make sure the odometer is set to odometer and not tripmeter.

Stick the key in the ignition. Hold down the odometer reset button, turn the key to the on position(don't start the truck) and hold it until the lines are gone..

You will automatically see a few lines in the odometer that will start to go away. Once all the lines are gone, the counter has been reset.

Odometer & trip meter stopped working.

Hello, We had the same problem about a year ago: 1996 Volvo 850 20V 2.5 L. We turned the ignition switch several times, and all the gauges was came back. I think the ignition switch cause the problem. We haven't had this problem since than.

Odometer\tripmeter stop working

Pull the drive cable out of the odometer and try to turn it. If it turns the drive in your gearbox is worn out and needs to be replaced.

Honda 2008 EX...install Outside temp gauge feature in tripmeter

You already have one if it is an EX or EX-L. Check your owners manual on how to toggle through the odometer read-outs. It is in the same little window near your speedo where the trip odometer is.

1989 Audi 500 se Automatic - Speedomoter

The gear on the odometer is stripped. Quite the common problem with Audi's of this vintage. Parts available at: http://speedometergears.com/

To fix, you have to pull the gauge cluster, remove the speedo from the cluster, then remove the odometer from the speedo. The gear replacement is pretty easy once you get it all apart.
