How long is the cable for a negative battery terminal?
Usually the cables are about 1 foot or so in length. Secure the cable with a piece of tape to keep it in place while you perform whatever work you had planned. When you are finished with the work on your vehicle, you will need to reattach the negative battery terminal to the battery.
Is there a way to reset the odometer?
There is no way you can reset the mileage shown by the odometer, through this repair procedure or any other. So you don’t need to worry about causing an accidental resetting. This repair job is very delicate work and you need to be very careful, while removing all connected parts and reassembling them together.
How do you connect negative terminal to positive terminal?
Connect the first jumper cable clamp to the positive terminal (+) on the dead battery. Next, connect a clamp to the positive terminal (+) on the live battery. Connect a clamp to the negative terminal (-) of the good battery, and finally attach the last clamp to a ground on the chassis of the dead car.
Why is my odometer not registering a mile?
It causes the input shaft to make 1690 rotations, to register a mile. Considering that the reason for odometer problems is the wearing out of the planetary gear (which is the most common reason), I present the overview of a general repair procedure, involving its replacement.
When to suspect odometer has been tampered with?
So if you happen to see gouge marks around the instrument cluster, be sure to ask if the odometer has ever been changed out, don’t assume the odometer mileage has been tampered with because there are many reasons to remove the instrument cluster, and not just to get to the odometer.
What to do when your odometer has zero miles on it?
When a shop/garage has to replace a digital odometer, the replacement odometer sent from the factory has zero mileage on it, so the odometer needs to be sent out to a professional speedometer facility to have the mileage from the old odometer transferred onto the new odometer. The process is not complex, but it is time consuming.
Why is my odometer blinking at 5, 400 miles?
Bringing back an old thread because this just happened to me. My odometer started blinking today at about 5,400 miles. No oil change message, no other lights/symbols. My car, stereo, and cluster are stock. No apparent reason for the blinking. I disconnected the negative battery terminal for a minute then re-connected.
Why do I have to send my odometer to the metering shop?
The reason for sending both new and old odometers to the metering shop is because the mileage of the vehicle cannot change while the new odometer is being synced. If the instrument cluster is removed from the vehicle, it’s to be expected that the vehicle will not be driven.
