This is a step by step instructional video on how to fix an odometer & trip meter that have stopped spinning. While I'm working on a '98 Ford Mustang, this video applies to '94-'98 Ford Explorer, F150, F250, Mustang, Ranger, Taurus & Mercury Sable.
I show many tips & tricks as well as the simple hand tools needed to make this job quick, easy & painless. The actual labor part of this job takes less then an hour (even if you take your time).
The replacement gears I used are:

Excellent, thanks for the detail. I try to do the same with my videos. It's real frustrating when people make videos and skip over so much. Telling us the tool sizes and explaining exactly how something like the light switch knob comes off really helps those of us who have never done it before.

You could see your video 100% better and noticed that on their video the little gear was turned upside down vs. yours. When I turned it the way you had it on your video..... It worked!

excellent video saved me a lot of trouble but 1 thing you may want to do a little research on dielectric grease as it should never be put on the electric contacts themselves. at least thats my understanding because the grease itself does not conduct. thanks for the video.
@petrocksgarage
@petrocksgarage 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I'm glad my video helped you out. Re Dielectric Grease: the definition of Dielectric via Google is "a medium or substance that transmits electric force without conduction; an insulator." Therefor Dielectric Grease does not conduct or resist electricity and is therefor safe to use on electrical contacts. It insulates the contacts from the elements to prevent corrosion without adversely effecting the electrical connection. Hope that clears things up for you.

Any help you extend is greatly appreciated Sir.

@petrocksgarage 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I don't have a video on hand for that at the moment. However, if you just want to disconnect the fuel line you'll need a disconnect tool like this: shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/autocraft-9-pc-a-c-and-fuel-line-quick-disconnect-tool-set-ac501/9010298-P Just find the one that fits the line you want to disconnect and slide the tool in until it clicks and then pull the lines apart. Pretty simple. Make sure to have the fuel system purged though otherwise you'll get a face full of fuel when you disconnect the lines. You can purge it a couple different ways, but the easiest is to pull the fuel pump fuse and run the car till it dies. Hope that helps.

Awesome video tutorial Pet Rock. Very in depth and detailed instructions. Kudos to you for such an informative video. I have a question though. To your knowledge, would the C82001 part number be the same for a '94 Thunderbird or Cougar ? I have a '94 Mercury Cougar with exactly this same problem. If you know whether it would take the same part number or not, it would be a great help. Thanks again for the awesome video. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year and Blessings to you and your family.

A lot of things could cause the speedometer to stop working. Broken wire, high resistance somewhere in the circuit, bad connection, bad electric motor for the needle etc. It is hard to diagnose from my keyboard. I doubt the mods you did to the motor had any effect on the speedometer, unless you pinched/damaged a wire somewhere during the install. If you are handy with a volt-meter you could probably trace it down and find the problem. I'd get the wiring diagram for the cluster from www.bbbind.com, if you don't have the factory wiring diagram book. Back-probe the signal pin for the speedometer motor and see if it is getting a signal when you drive around a little (or put the rear up on jack stands and just put the car in drive to let the wheels spin freely a little, don't go nuts on it though). Then work from there (checking powers & grounds to the speedometer motor etc). If you aren't good with a volt-meter then I would recommend taking it to a shop that is good with electrical issues. Good luck.

So I replaced the gears. The odometer and trip meter are working again. All my gauges work except the tac. I sat the cluster face down while I was trying to replace the gear and accidentally broke the pin that holds the tac needle when it’s at zero. I super glued it back on but realized the needle was underneath it. So I wound it back counter clockwise and let it rest on the pin. I’m thinking that maybe if I were to wind it back in the original direction that might make it work again. Thoughts?

You've ruled out the speed sensor, but that is only one of the many different causes. It could be a damaged/broken wire between the speed sensor & PCM or PCM and instrument cluster, or the electric motor to turn the needle in the cluster could be bad, or the cluster itself could be bad. Best to find someone who is good at diagnosing electrical problems and have them investigate. Just throwing parts at it will likely be a waste of time & money. It's like throwing darts in the dark and hoping for a bulls eye. Good luck.

It could be any number of things. It could be the cluster, wiring to the cluster, the speed sensor, the wiring from the speed sensor, bad fuse etc etc. The list goes on. Don't assume it's a part that is wrong when it could just as easily be a bad wire. Jumping straight to a part as the problem is like playing darts in the dark and hoping to hit a bullseye. I'd recommend taking it to a shop that is good at electrical diagnostics and have them diagnose it. It might be something you can fix, otherwise pay them to fix it. Good luck.

@petrocksgarage
@petrocksgarage 2 жыл бұрын
Just replacing parts when there is a problem will just waste a lot of money over time. Its like throwing darts in the dark and hoping to hit a bulls eye. Yes, it sounds like an electrical problem given that all of those things failed at once. It could be as simple/cheap as a blown fuse or complicated/expensive as a broken/damaged wire, corroded connection, bad console or a combination of those. It would definitely not be the gears I show how to replace in this video since those gears don't effect the fuel, oil or battery gauges. If you aren't good at electrical diagnostics take it to a shop to diagnose it. Once you know the problem you can decide to fix it yourself or have them fix it. You'll save money in the long run this way. Electrical issues can be a P.I.T.A. to diagnose & fix sometimes. Good luck.

I'd start at zero. :-) New (to you) car, new milage. :-) But seriously, any value is fine. IMO, as long as it is accurately ticking away the files then its fine. I primarily use the odometer to know when the next maintenance operation is due, and the trip meter to keep track of my MPG. Up to you.

@petrocksgarage
@petrocksgarage Жыл бұрын
No, it won't. The speedometer is a completely different component than the odometer/trip meter. The two are not mechanically connected. They are indirectly electronically connected though. So if the odometer & speedometer stopped working at the same time I would suspect an electrical issue, not mechanical. It could be a bad fuse, bad wire(s) going to the instrument cluster, a bad solder joint in the instrument cluster, bad instrument cluster... the list goes on. If you aren't comfortable tracking down electrical issues, I'd suggest finding a shop that is good at electrical stuff and have them diagnose it. Please don't just throw parts at the problem (like a new instrument cluster). Thats like throwing darts in the dark and hoping to hit a bulls eye. If it does turn out to be an instrument cluster there are companies that refurbish instrument clusters for cheaper than a new cluster. Good luck.

Yeah, its the same gear for kph & mph. The computer just rotates the gear at a different rate for kph vs mph. If the gears all lined up when you re-installed it then it should be in correctly. If it still doesn't work, make sure that the gear is spinning when the rear wheels are spinning (jack the rear wheels off the ground, chuck the front wheels so it doesn't role, and start the car and put it into drive. Let it spin the rear wheels at idle. If the gears don't spin then the problem is electrical (either in the cluster, wiring to the cluster or the computer). Good luck.

which gauge? They are all controlled electronically and only a few have a mechanical component.

Those are electrically controlled by the ECU and the needle moves via a little stepper motor. It doesn't use gearing like the odometer & trip meter. So if they are stuck then its an electrical problem either in the gauge cluster, gas & temp sensors, wiring, or ECU. There is no silver bullet fix here. It needs to be diagnosed by someone who is good at diagnosing electrical problems. If you are, then you can get the wiring diagrams from bbbind.com and do a series of voltage drop tests to find the electrical fault. Shouldn't take more than an hour if you know what you are doing. Good luck.

Ford should have their dealers do this...they just seem to just want to do oil changes and sell tires!! One said get a new cluster and bring 2 keys. What do keys have to do with it? Another won't touch anything old and you MUST have a service record with them. Shame on them!

Most dealer mechanics are just parts changers. Time is money and it's faster to replace a part than fix it. They don't 'fix' anything. A good independent shop might fix it, but you may end up paying more in labor than just buying the new (or used from a junk yard) cluster and having them install it. It's kind of a crap shoot really. Im not sure what the keys have to do with it. I don't think the keys are paired with the cluster. PCM/ECM yeah, but not the cluster on this era mustang. But I could be wrong. Maybe that dealer service writer was confused about models/years? Re not working on old cars, yes that is a thing and perfectly within their right to refuse to work on older vehicles. There can be a bunch of different legitimate reasons. A dealer tech friend of mine told me once that at their shop it's because older vehicles tend to be more fragile. Plastics often brittle. Metal rusted. Something could break while trying to do a repair and the shop would be on the hook to pay for it (assuming the shop is ethical). They might work on some stuff like interior, suspension & maintenance, but no engine or transmission work. Too much risk.
