'91 electronic gauges: Trip Odo

Mine won't reset. Just to clarify, it should push in to reset?

Seems like a small thing, but I'm used to resetting on every full tank and this makes me crazy.

I think you have to turn the knob to reset it, not just push it in. I never use mine in either of my K5's though.

Push+turn.

its a workout to reset mine though. and i never do it anymore as i know what im getting(mpg) with mine.

 

[southernspeed]

It's official. Twist and turn. One way zeros it and the other just clocks it up.

 

[ntsqd]

Guess I'm going to have to take mine apart then. Won't move when I try to push it.

 

[southernspeed]

Twist baby twist! No twisty either?

 

[ntsqd]

Just re-checked, can twist in either direction until your fingers bleed with no effect.

 

[southernspeed]

Bfh!

 

[dyeager535]

You can try putting some sideways force on it while you twist/push, they were poor designs.

I guess the small plastic gears tend to strip. I've had little luck disassembling the speedo's and fixing anything in them, I just get another used one.

See now, that isn't what I wanted to hear.















Aboot what I expected though. Oh well.......

I seem to remember the one in my '90 (90-91 are the DRAC trucks, right?) was like that. I just clocked mileage on the gas receipts -- easier than trying to fix the thing.

I have to have my tongue out just right ,pressure in the right direction ,or it skips.
