Milometer problem

[Whiplash]

Had a problem with the speedometer (I wasn’t working at all) so I got the dealer to replace the sensor a couple of weeks ago and now it works fine BUT (there is always a but according to the Missis) now the milometer is not working.

I have done the usual, tapping it while driving. Pressing the little button etc, accelerating hard, you know the usual but nothing. I’m about to get the car MOT’d and Taxed ready to sell but I need to fix this problem. It’s not ticked over to a magic thousand number which I know to many noughts can cause it to stick so I don’t know what it could be.

Any ideas??????

Happens every other time it gets to n9,999

Put into reverse and drive about 200 yards backwards.

That always works.

Weirder than fish

Thanks for the help. I will try that tonight when I get home.

If the driving backwards doesn't work just persevere withn pressing the reset button continuously while driving (in a straight line ) worked for me the last two times.

I tried the above, didn't work, ended up sending away, been perfect since

Speedo broken IMO
Send it off to Speedy Cables and get them to check it.

Just keep driving and jiggling the button... allowing it to recoil on the spring tension seems to shock the digits over when they stick.

I just took the speedo to bits and gave it a gentle nudge. Thats all it needed. Just make sure I reset the trip counter regularly too....feels like I'm keeping it clicking over!
