My odometer and tripmeter have suddenly decided to stop working! :confused:

 

I've had a quick look but can't see anything obvious (in fact I can't see anything at all 'cos it's all out of sight lol)

 

Has anyone any idea what might be causing this?

 

BTW my fuel gauge has never worked since I bought the Zed.....could the two problems be connected?

On mine, it was the stepper motor itself that gave up.

Would that affect both the odometer AND the tripmeter?

disassembly and fix "how to"

That doesn't help if the actual stepper motor is goosed though.

I had to get a new motor.

 

Plus the series 4 odometer is different (you can't simply wind it backwards because the gears lock).

i have this problem, took the car into south west zeds for some work before christmas 2006 and when it came out neither of em worked.

 

how do you fix this? dont want to be accused of "clocking".. lol

Sometimes its just dirt on the motor/gears that stops them turning.

The speedo is not sealed so gets full of crap.

Cleaning might fix it.

Hi Graham, As you can see from my other thread I am hoping to fit another complete set of clocks but...........fingers crossed.
