DelSolSweetie Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 actual odometer is fine its just when i pushed the button in to set the trip one to 0 the first number didnt move and the second two got stuck halfway between numbers when i push the button I can see the pieces in between the numbers move but it wont roll back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgogo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 take the speedo out, take the face plate off, and with a toothpick align them all to zero while depressing the reset post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevotron5000 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It takes all of about 5 minutes to take the speedo out and dismantle, super easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 that makes me feel better.. i've always had a slight fear about taking any dash stuff apart lol instructions in manual or no? i'd go look but i have to find my manual first lol i dont think ive ever had to use it and if i do toothpick trick it should work normally after? i hate when little annoying crap doesnt work on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevotron5000 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Off the top of my head I know that there are two screws near the top of the gauges. Unscrew those and you can pull out the panel. Then you have to unplug the harness for your aux lights, etc. After that there should be one more screw on a metal bracket that you have to remove on top of the cluster and a couple more on the sides. I may have mixed up a few steps but it's very straight-forward and once you undo one thing you'll very easily see where to go next. As far as dismantling goes I just use a couple of flat head screws drivers to undo the plastic clips holding it in. I usually use two because if I only use one, when I go to undo the next clip, the clip I undid first gets pushed back in. I hope that helps and I'll try to find some pics for you if I can.

Stevotron5000 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Here you go, Sarah. A couple of flat-head screwdrivers or an extra pair of hands will make taking the cover off a lot easier and when you come to the dimmer and trip knobs just pull.

cmgogo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 pull off the hazard and aux button holders, un clip, set aside unscrew the garnish (i think, maybe just pull cant remeber) unscrew the screws holding the cluster in (4 or 6) pull cluster 1/2 way out, un plug all 3 bundles pull rest of way out, done.

mongo Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 This works on my Silverado when it wants to stick, hold button in while going forward a few feet, or backwards....worth a shot...I too dont like taking dash apart, but have found it quite simple once done...good luck sweetie...

Stevotron5000 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Between the sawzal and the big hammer you should be able to get it out for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
