repaired my odometer and calibrate the speedometer according to your
video,, they both work fine. thankd a lot
where did you get the odometer motor?
Daren, Do you have anything on removing the upper cowl covers on a Ford
Explorer (1997)?
Good info and well-presented. Found this after researching why my
odometer/trip odometer both are coming and going recently. I never opened
up the cluster when I had it out replacing bulbs (another of which went out
a couple of months later, of course lol). This gives me a far better
understanding of how they’re both driven (I’m used to my old 89 VW) and
what has most likely failed. Too easy – Thanks!
I have a 1996 Ford Explorer,I followed your video and the worm gear was
falling apart. I changed a few bulbs that was blown out and put everything
back together took my truck for a ride and odometer or the trip meter still
doesn’t work. I was wondering could it be the motor that is bad as well and
is there a way to see if it the motor?
Sweet! This is awesome! I just need to replace the lights in the dash. lol
Its possible that you pushed it on too far, and its rubbing as it falls.
You might try adjusting it out some.
so i need a little plastic piece or do i need the plactice piece and the
little motor
@wwjoshdew haha yeah. as soon as i get off work today i am going to do the
rest of it. i will try to post that video tonight. thanks!
so the worm gear wearing is what caused the speedo to stop working?
You have to pull the cluster from the dash. Thats the only way. Watch my
other video. It will show you how to pull the cluster.
Hey, I added the link to the new video. It pops up right around the 2:22
mark.
So did this actually solve your problem with the speedometer working at
random? Mine has been doing it as of late, and would like to get it fixed.
Also wanted to know if that new gear was worth the money spent.
How do you check the speedometer’s accuracy when it’s not connected to the
vehicle? I’m told that the speedometer is calibrated useing a dynamoneter.
thank you. very informative.
Yes it fixed my problem. It only works at random because the original gear
was so broken down and brittle that it would catch at random times and work
for a while. Its up to you if you want to fix it. It bugged me that my
odometer quit working, and it gave me a reason to tinker with my truck.
Totally up to you if you want to spend the $30 on the gear. I believe the
link to where I got mine is in the description.
My speedometer only comes down to 40 and says I’m doing 70 when I know I’m
not. Any suggestions? Is the needle possibly down to far?
I don’t really know how to explain how it meshes with the other gear. It
just does. It just pushes onto the pin. You’ll see what the old gear looks
like when you pull it off. Its honestly not that hard.
where did you get theworm gear to fix the odometer 95 ford ranger
Sweet! I’m going to watch this bad boy!
odometer*
hey bro can you tell me if theres a way to change or reduce the mileage on
the odometer the non digital, mines are way high up to 597K and i dont
think thats even possible?
Yes. When I pulled my old worm gear out, it broke into several pieces. It
was already brittle and had chunks missing out of it. Thats why my odometer
would work sometimes and not others. It would just so happen to catch a
good spot on the worm gear, and work for a little while.
Yes you can, but its unlawful to change your speedometer. I apologize for
any inconvenience.
You were right we had pushed the needle down too far & it was making it act
wacky. Thanks a lot for these very useful videos.
Oh ok. Thanks for all your help.
You dont have to pull the whole thing apart. The odometer motor twists out
from the back and you can put the new gear on. Use 2 credit cards to gap
the distance from the motor to the back of the new gear. By gaping it this
way, the gear doesnt touch the speedometer back plate. It worked great for
me.
You didn’t show how to replace the worm gear in the video. That’s the main
part that everyone needs info on.
Lol, what more do you want? I showed exactly how to get to it and where its
located. I did everything short of coming to your garage and doing it for
you. Watch the other videos. Maybe that’s what your missing?
Just the plastic piece. The motor should still be good. If its not, just
run to the junk yard and pull one out of a truck there.
Check out the description. I just posted the link for you.
This worked with my 1996 Ranger, but now I have a problem with the
speedometer needle returning very slow when I stop. Any suggestions?
For example, does a person just simply drop the worm gear down on the pin?
Does it attach somewhere or just fits down on the pin? How does it mesh
into the main gear? Maybe its easier than I think when I actually do it.
Good, informative video. (also the one on opening up the dash) I did it
today and it was stunningly easy.
I will post another video here shortly about how to check the speedo.
How do you get to the 7 screws ?
Thanks! You’re welcome
@pomdudes Great! Im glad I could help you out!
