so yesterday after i filled up, i tried pushing the button to reset my odometer but it wouldnt budge. no big deal, its done it before.i leave it n start driving a bit n try to reset it after moving a bit but the button still wont move.i keep trying and all the sudden my thumb pushes down hard cuz i hit a bump.now theres no resistance when i push the button, the numbers are uneven now and i dnot think its recording anything anymore. it eventually set to 000.00 after pushing the button a few times but its not right.

the 1st and 3rd numbers (x0x.00) are messed up and halfway there but the center one is even. 0x0.00

anyone know how to fix this, if it can be fixed, and where i could go to get it fixed?

I got a spare one. I took it out of the cluster. If you want it pay the shipping.

The odometer in my S13 works when it wants to. I really should get a new cluster.

when i swapped to an analog cluster the miles were 25000 different from each other. The shop wouldn't inspect it if it had the wrong mileage, so they told me to get an officer to put report it or whatever. So finally I chased down an officer to get it noted on record. and he said for the year (1989) it doesn't matter anymore.
