In the 15+ years we have had our ‘89 wagon, Ive gone thru about 5-6 speedo‘s, mainly due to the odo and trip meter "malfunctioning".. One thing I learned is to keep my finger off the trip reset button, seems to help, so far.

Few days ago tho, regardless of my caution, the odo/trip meter stopped working, again. I called Dave, he always has a supply of speedos on hand, but we went thru 4, yes 4, before finally found one that works perfectly, so far. He has no way to test them other than installing them and running them. One thing he does tho, he never picks one up that the trip meter is already set on zero, that almost always is a sign the trip was reset and it had stopped working.

THE COMPONENTS OF USED ITEMS ARE GETTING OLDER, STRESS CRACKS, AGE CRACKS, ETC.(HMM, SOUNDS LIKE ME). I DON’T HAVE MUCH ADVICE, BUT KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIP RESET BUTTON, OR IF YOU MUST, DO IT ONLY WHILE TOTALLY STOPPED AND PRESS IT GENTLY. GOOD LUCK.
