SOURCE: reset button on instrument panel

You have three options here.... None of which you will like. Option A: remove the dash and the instrument panel and attempt to replace the entire unit yourself. ( PAIN IN THE **** ).

Option B: Pay service shop to do aformentioned repair ( labor + Part = most likely going to cost a minimum of 200 dollars ranging all the way to 400).

Option C: Live without it. Your going to come off some money with this one. Getting an odometer system replaced can be very very expensive. If your system is Digital you might actually save some money as far as labor is concerned.

Testimonial: "thanks for the good advise, i'll live without it!"

SOURCE: how to reset trip meter

The two buttons that control the trip options are on the dash adjacent to the hazard warning button. Press the TRIP button untill it shows a small A or B in the top left (say average mpg) then press the upper part of the toggle switch marked RESET/CLEAR and hold it for about four seconds, this will display A or " B resetting" depending on which trip you are currently in, then everything on that trip is reset to zero (mileage/mpg/ave.speed etc). I use A for the full tank recording and B for individual journeys that I wish to record.

What is the normal fuel comsumption for a nissan navara

when you say it seems to be using too much, that is just a feeling
what you have to do is fill it right up and press the trip meter on the speedo
then you drive/use the vehicle normally until you are around 1/4 tank on the gauge
fill it right up again and record the reading on the trip meter
reset the trip meter and use normally again
repeat the process say for 4 tank fills recording each trip distance
then you will see what the fuel consumption is for example 40 liters for 400 klms is 10 liters per 100 klms or 20 galls for 200 miles is 10 gallons per 100 miles
the requirement to record distance and fuel put in will give you an accurate consumption over traffic, driving and atmospheric conditions from there you can ask --is this consumption figure around right for the car?

How do i fix an odomiter and tripomiter after the went out.

This is for the mercury cougar, If the trip and speedo is not working when driving I would bet that the tiny gear conected to the speedo motors is broken, It happened to mine. It's easy to fix if you are mechanically able to under stand. The part is available on ebay for a steel gear or go to your local junk yard the thunderbird and cougar or the same. Take out the instrument cluster and remove the speedo assembly, there is a cluster of gears together, remove the gear cluster carefully and you'll see the tiny gear missing teeth. Remove that gear and do the same at the junk yard but beware others my have to same problem, I search two cougar and three thunderbird before finding one that was not broken, I hope this helps. P.S. the main cause of this gear breaking is pushing the trip button while driving. Or age of the car.plastic gears don't last forever.

2000 odyssey speedometer needle stuck past 140mph

I also had the same problem.After calling around to get quotes in the $100+ for junkyard clusters I decided to tear the thing apart to see what was up. Once apart I noticed the speedo and tach needles are weighted to drop the needle to 6 o'clock. All I had to do was spin the speedo needle back to the rest and all was well. I'm guessing when we reset the trip odometer there must have been a short in the board that pulsed the speedo and caused it to spin beyond return. I tested the trip buttons a few times and no short yet. please give me a good rating :) i only need one more! thanks a bunch!

Odometer stopped working

IF YOUR SPEEDO IS WORKING THEN YOUR VSS IS OKAY, BAD VSS WILL STOP SPEEDO AND USALLY CAUSE HARD SHIFTING. NORMALLY ODO IS CONTROLLED BY SERVO MOTOR WHICH MAY HAVE WENT OUT. CHECK EBAY FOR REPAIR SERVICES OR SIMPLY GET A SALVAGE CLUSTER AND HAVE MILEAGE RESET
