odometer problem.

Recommended Posts

Can any one help me , the rpm needle in my odometer shows 3000 rpm when the engine is off ,when I turn it on it is about 4300 . the engine idle sounds fine,I think the problem is from the odometer itself. what could be the problem?? will I need a new Odometer??or can I fix it myself??

thanks.

odometer = miles... You mean tachometer (revs) 8)

 

Have you disconnected the battery to see what happens with no power to the car?

 

If you have no battery connected (and the engine is not running!) and the Tacho points to zero then you have a short somewhere in the wiring... If it stays pointing to 3K with no power, your needle has slipped on it's spindle (dunno how :? :shock: ) and your best bet is to remove the cluster, open it up, prise off the needle and stick it back on pointing at zero... :D

 

Hope this helps... 8)
