hi dylan- appreciate you replying back. when i put in new gears 4 years ago , the button for the trip reset was deteriorated and not working . i took it out and the trip odo turns all the time with the regular odo. so there has been no interference from the button since new gears went in. the speedo has always worked. im not sure the little motor on the backofthe cluster only works with the speedo. if that is true than it cannot be the problem. are you sure about that? it may work only the odo. cant seem to get a straight answer on this. if the motor only works the speedo and not the odo then i have to go down a different road. if you can find out the answer to this question would appreciate you letting me know.remember this car(92 240) has the electronic sensor in the differential which works through a mysterious tone ring and transmits the speed to the speedo. no twirling cable out of the trans like old tanks. thanks tons oldduke
