'94 850 Wagon Odometer/Trip Odometer not working

Post by hjself »

I recently replaced the four illumination lamps in the instrument cluster of my 1994 850 Station Wagon. Since the completion of the repair, the speed indicator needle works; however, neither the trip odometer or the total odometer is working. Any suggestions about what may be going on? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Did you press the reset trip meter button? You may have experienced this:

the problem may be that the wiring loom which is only two wires on a jumper block type connection on the back of the PCB may have become disconnected tray and removing it again. when you seperate the dials from the PCB there are the two wires that go to the odometer/trip meter to run the motor which drive the gears on the display. either way you will have to remove the instrument to get it repaired or to find if the wires are disconneted. good luck

I just had the odometer repaired today (dealer). Price about 300 USD, with labor & 2 new bulbs.
