Hmmmm, can this also cause the small odometer (the 4-digit guy with tenths, resettable) to stop working, while the big odometer (the 6-digit one, no tenths, not resettable) keeps working just fine? The V6anagon has been this way since I got it. Haven't done much with it, since it doesn't stop the car and I've always had visions of little springs and gears scattering all over my bench when I opened the speedo-- a fear born of ignorance in my case, but still very real. Anyone know offhand what might cause schizoid speedo behavior like this (the speedo itself works fine)? , , , , |\ |\ , |\ ____|\____________|\\_______________|________________|\______________|_____ ____|/__|________@__\|__|____O______|___|___@________|__|___|________|__|__ ___/|___|___|________|__|___|______@____|__|____@____|__|___|_______@___|__ __|_/_\_|___|_______@___|___|___________|__|___|____@___|___|___________|__ ___\|/__|___|___________|___|___________|__|___|________|__O____________|__ / O | Steve Maher smaher@gi.com '80 V6anagon '66 Mustang Coupevertible http://www.wp.com/IrishMafia "Gun control means using both hands!"
