Hello all: Question #2 for my new 88 Vanagon Westy: The odometer stopped working awhile back. Then, the speedometer started making a whining noise. I fiddled with the cable entering into the speedo/odo box, taking it out, then pushing it back in a few times, wiggling it while driving, etc. Nothing worked. So, the question is: How does one repair this equipment? Is it worthwhile taking out the speedo and tinkering with the gears? Or is it unfixable, and I must get a new speedo? I'd prefer not to do this, of course, because I'd like to keep the odometer reading accurate (and not spend a lot of money). Suggestions? Thanks. Tim T. |
