    Repair trip odometer

    Never had the time to investigate why my trip odometer doesn't work on my white faced tach cluster, but since my cluster lights need to get changed i thought i would try to find the problem.... The mile odometer and speedometer work just fine... I think the trip odometer is stuck... No amount of pressing on the reset seems to get it unstuck... Anybody have/had this problem? What's your fix?

        I have a PDF file of an article someone wrote on disassembling the odometer to reset the numbers to match the actual mileage on their car. It describes how to remove the actual counter to be able to move the number wheels. It may have info that would be useful to take apart the trip meter and you might see what's causing your problem. The file is too big to attach here, but if you want it, PM me an e-mail address and I'll send it to you.
