Broken odometer?

[MadMaxx]

I think I broke my odometer :/

I was trying to reset the counter via the knob. It all turned, but then the odometer stoped keeping milage count?? if I turn the knob on the gague, it actually changes the number on the odometer!!!

What did I do!? Is there a quick way to fix this, or is it removal time?

Remove the speedo and send it to:
APT Instruments Intl Inc
9632 Humboldt Av S BLMGTN, MN 55431-2629

They have a very quick turn around.

My odometer stuck at 49,999.9 miles for about a thousand miles, then just started working again and has been fine ever since.

On this subject, does anyone know if there is an electronic replacement for the OEM mechanical odometer available for an 88 Turbo? The OEM is a VDO gauge and I don't see one that would fit on their web site.

You can probably get the one for the V8. The odometer section is LCD, but the speedo has the regular rotary needle.

Calvin,

I mean the drive to the Odo being electronic, not the needle. Right now my car has a cable and I would like to replace it for an electronic sensor. I know there are aftermarket applications available for most cars.

Talk to these people for an electronic solution:

I saw them in Sturgis and they said they could do make a speedo/odometer for just about anything (except, of course, my '86 FLHT.) An Esprit using a basically standard round display would be no problem.

You would think that you could attach a vehicle speed sensor to one of the hubs and use that to reead speed and distance. The 88's have the Citroen box, if you had a Renault box I would just tell you to use the VDO that is in the V8 as that one is electronic. Others will have to help on this one. I have seen a S1/S2 with a totally digital readout so it can be done.

The Dakota Digital people say they can read _any_ pulse at any rate. They also sell an adapter that you screw on the end of your speedo cable that generates a pulse. You calibrate their speedo's by clicking a button when you drive past a mile marker, then clicking again at the next mile marker. Looks like they also give you 1/4 mile times and 0-60 times. Pretty slick.

Is the signal for the 88 electric, or mechanical driven odometer/speedo?

Mechanically driven via cable.
