96 Q45 Odometer not working

[Mark2silva]

I have a 96 q45t and my odometer does not work. My speedometer,tachometer, and trip meter works fine. I replaced the speedo cluster thinking the odometer motor was shot but the odometer still does not work. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Is the odometer driven off the speedometer, and what functions the trip meter?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

welcome to NICO

I honestly think you got really unlucky.... Normally replacing the cluster fixes it.

Mark- Are you talking about the speedometer or the trip odometer/message center in the lower corner of the cluster?

If it's the trip odo not working, shine a flashlight on it and if you can read the display (door open) it's just the 2 bulbs behind the trip odometer burned out (Wes taught me this).

Let us know what you find.

Thanks for the input goody94q45, but yes it is the actual odometer. The trip meter works fine.

for the record, i talked to him on AIM and found these details out.

The car has always had a remote start system in it. Im thining some wiring is goofy with the remote start..
