I need help,I have a MY94 and my mileage indicator has stopped clocking up the mile's, I have fiddled about behind the dash to see if anything is loose & can't find anything there, am I looking for a cable or is it fuse related?.
Not having a manual kind of limit's my know how as to what to do & where to look.

Cheers

Well I did actually think that but it's not exactly fair when I come to move on, and the mileage is still the same as it was 12 month's ago.
I'm gonna have a hard time convincing someone that I only drove it for about a mile a month .

Presumably the speedo itself is still working OK? The two are generally driven by the same input, speedo cable on the cars I'm used to working on, electronic pulse generator on most modern cars.

If both stop working then it's a fault external to the dash unit, broken cable, broken pulse generator, loss of power to the pulse thingy, etc etc. If ones stopped but the other's OK then it must be something internal to the dash itself. No idea what's in there.....

Yes the speedo is still working and reading 100%.

Well at least you have narrowed it down for me, ie; 'internal to the dash itself', It's completley baffled me as the speedo cable is intact and that's the only fault I know to check.

I will make some inquiries & dismantle the dash again, & see if it can be sorted.
Failing that then I suppose a alternate dash or rebuild of the gearing will be next.
