gt88 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I just bought a 1997 corolla sedan and I am very happy with it. It's a great little car. But one thing I just noticed after I filled up petrol was the odometer was a bit wonky as in the picture below. How do I go about fixing it? Cheers Quote
Trev Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Try pushing the button in a few times in a row when the car is stationary, The numbers normally jump back in line. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 If that doesn't fix it good chance that the trip meter has been buggered by someone pressing it while driving, May need to find another cluster or get your one repaired. Quote
gt88 Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the reply guys. Where abouts can I get the cluster repaired? Also I was just driving it and when I turned the car headlights on the transmisson lights didnt turn on. The light that should light up the P, R, N, D, 2 and 1. How do I go about changing the globe? And another question is this the right owners manual for a 1997 Corolla Conquest 1.8L http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-1994-COROLLA...bayphotohosting Edited August 4, 2008 by gt88 Quote

The gears have not meshed properly when the odometer has been reset. when resetting push the button at least twice. Sometimes these spider gears do not de-mesh properly and result in that. I have seen clusters before eat themselves because of this but most of the time they are fine. the second "reset" usually de-meshes properly and then all is well. Try not to drive too far with it like this. Cheers PS: Any guage or instrument calibration place will be able to fix them if need be. It would help if we knew where you where as this can aid suggestions for places to go if you need to get it fixed. Try the control panel.. :lol: Quote
