- DIY odometer repair and LED dash light install. Learn how to fix your odometer to show the correct mileage when you drive. The odometer gear can easily be repaired by taking the gauges out from the dashboard, but I also show you how to replace the speed sensor. Since we are taking the dash apart, I show you how to install LED bulbs for your instrument cluster.

I just really love cars.
My mom has a 1998 Mustang convertible that she just loves. Her only complaint Is that the odometer is broken. I will fix it as a surprise. Thank you.
+R. N. KS that's awesome!!! Glad the video was helpful!
Is she from Pasadena? :)
Do it for Christmas ur mom will be so happy
Denis Bickle lol tht was 7 months ago
Did you fix it?
So many years after this video was made, I have the way to help my son fix the odo on his ancient Toyota Starlet. Kudos for the clear, precise and concise info on how to do it: well shot, beautifully edited, nothing too much or boring included.
I replaced the same gears in a Mercury about 12 years ago. Unfortunately I could not buy them anywhere, so I had to make my own. Worked great after the swap. Sometimes you can hear a noise coming from the dash when they're worn out. The LED's usually will not burn out, but the level of intensity will fade over time. If you don't have a Torx, then you can also squeeze by with a hex key.
You can also just sucker up and get a junkyard cluster too. Odometer will be off, but if you're a sensible person like most people aren't, you can put a piece of tape on the cluster and write the mileage of the car, and the mileage of the cluster when installed. That way, you will never lose track. Or you can just swap out the broken parts from the good cluster into your original one.

My odometer was fine. I made an exact duplicate using the broken gear. I was able to make a mold and pour it using epoxy resin.
electronicsNmore That's cool as hell! Got any pictures?
***Classified***
No, it was a long time ago. The broken gear looked IDENTICAL to what Chris showed. I used dental impression material. The gear had to be lifted up and rotated into another position to make up for the area that was broken. Worked great.
electronicsNmore That sounds awesome. I almost think that most car manufacturers use the same products for their odometers. The size might be a little bit different, but the parts are almost always identical from what I've seen.
I have a 95 mustang that just started doing this and how convenient that you put the parts in the description of the video! Anytime my stang has a problem forget auto zone I'll just watch Chris Fix and the correct parts will already be listed!
Bro I freaking love you!! I literally just had this happen on my 97 Taurus . I'ma go buy one this weekend and replace it!
Professionally made video, with all the little tips for safe removal. Thank you, this helped a lot.
when is the cleaning the engine bay video coming out? I really want to see that.
He was supposed to do a cleaning video last Thursday but rain wouldn't allow for it so he had to hurry up and make this video.
Cover your alternator and fuses with plastic bags. Cover intake too with plastic bag if it's one of those cone style intakes. Spray cold engine (make sure engine isn't hot) with light rinse (don't use power washer). Spray engine with degreaser (i use purple power). Let it sit for 5-10 mins and then lightly scrub. Lightly rinse with hose (again, don't use power washer). Good as new.
+Frank Reynolds why no power washer?
+ChastBlind you don't want to force water in any place in the engine.
+vladstr100 you ain't gonna force water in anything. if your car isnt from any year below 1985 your chances of water damage are very very low
Replace the black with the white, because white is right.
That's how I remember.
I'm waiting for the wave of butt hurt lol
Oh clap clap....
TRIGGERED
never trust a trigger
yes sir
Hey Chris just used this very video on my 1997 mustang cobra to fix this odometer issue. I followed this video step by step and it came out perfect!! Thanks so much for doing this!!! Couldn’t have done it with out you
I'm glad you fixed your odometer! Thanks a lot!
ChrisFix you do amazing work, both on your videos and your content, so thorough and easy to follow. Keep up the amazing work, thanks again Chris!!
so mines stopped working for a couple 2/3k miles, will mine show correct mileage
These how to videos give me so much confidence to diy! love them. So informative and put together well.
Great video Chris!
+Andrew Heinrich thanks Andrew!
+ChrisFix... what state do you live in
+Jason Harris New Jersey
+Jonathan Ortíz... thank you.
I forgot it's been a while
Removing the cables from the back is the biggest pain in the ass ever when doing this job. As well as putting them back in when you’re ready! But this fix was overall very fun. It literally takes ten minutes with the correct tools.
Thanks for sharing! Yea it isnt bad at all!
Best Mechanic On TH-cam💯
chris fix out here liking comments on his 4 year old videos and putting mechanics out of business. so addicted to these videos and when im old enough to drive ill be able to think back to these videos and fix problems myself
I wish i could see ChrisFix videos on a ep91 Toyota Starlet. I want to learn more about my new/used car and cant find a lot about it. Chris really spoils us . Your series are very well made and well detailed.
I subscribe cuz you got str8 to the point without any weird intro or dancing or singing, very informative 🔥
The lights in mine were roasted. It looks so nice now with the lights! I also had to fix the gears. Piece of cake. ty for the clear instructions
I'm 8 years old so when I'm older then I know how to do this stuff and be smart :)
Saba Amjad thats what i did and now I'm about to get my permit

I love cars and watching your videos let’s me learn more🤩
Thank you
Love your videos. I have the same car. I'm going to attempt it. You make it look very easy. I hope it is 😃😃
Sum times I just watch this for fun I love this guy and his vidz
Chris, how I wish you released this video just a week before. I made the mistake and used a napkin to whip mine and it left several scratches :(. Any advice on what to use to clean it? Learning the hard way I threw out all the napkins and stocked up on lots of microfiber towels. Thx in advance.
Sorry, by cleaning I mean to remove the scratches.
+Papa Gleb hm, well you can try fine swirl remover but I feel like that might make it worse.
+Papa Gleb I understood haha
+ChrisFix thx for the reply but if your not sure then I'll leave it as cause it's a 2017 so I rather not take a chance to make it worse. Thx again. Love the vids and this project so looking forward to more.
I see you getting the hand of stick shift. It's my fav type of transmission as there is much more fun that can be had with it.
+Papa Gleb You might try a headlight restore polish compound, they are made for plastic and make headlights look new. Maybe test it on a junkyard cluster first.
I noticed the old odometer/trip gears were lubricated, its probably what softened them up over time, but you installed the new ones dry, still should last you quit a few years still.... oh, and that MILWAUKEE 12v cordless drill(fuel/m12/brushless), i have the same and its a beast in such a small package.
Hit Like if you want ChrisFix to install a 'Turbo Charger' in this Mustang.
Hi Chrisfix,
Would you tell us how you did figure out what part you actually needed to order? And how you selected a supplier for that?
That is a good question! I knew the odometer wasnt working and I knew it runs off a gear and I knew the speed sensor feeds it info. I did a quick online search to see that these mustangs have this problem. Boom, that easy!
Ok, but it is my opinion that you have been lucky the failure of that part is a common problem in the mustang and having a reasonably priced aftermarket part available. Oftentimes I do think people run into a lot of frustration to (1) obtain some part number of the one that's broke and (2) finding this correct part on the internet, (3) ensure that's the part they actually need, with all the missing data in the advertisement (I don't think I'm the first one who hates that) (4) prevent from being ripped off.
Although you do have a catchy video title it's not the definitive answer to all non spinning odometers on all cars. Your audience should be aware of that.
10:04 Chris has been overtaken by a soccer mom in his mustang 🤣🤣🤣
How do you know everything?
School. Expensive school
Maybe he learned lots about cars. I know a lot of things from cars my dad learned me
@@MaynardFreek umm no, he graduated university as a marine biologist.
Google? Other TH-cam channels?
These videos encourage me to want to do stuff to my shoddy focus
Chris Fix makes some good videos. Keep it up.
You are freakin awesome Chris! Thanks for teachin dumbies like me
How do you fix the gross steering wheel? Is there a way to do it without just covering it up? Thanks!
I will be doing a video on that so stay tuned!!!
Madlad actually did the video 10/10
Dislikes? Really? This is good info!
I dont even own a car and I watch these videos. I'm 11 years old and I love to learn about cars. :D
Chris I just fixed my gear shift indicator (per your video,) on my 2003 explorer sport trac. Now my odometer is broken (speedo is fine) so my question is do you know if the gears you bought (in your link) fit in my vehicle? I can’t seem to find gears specific to my truck anywhere on the internet. Keep up the good work/ videos!
Why do I love these videos even though I don’t have a car
Seeing the back of the gauges just brings me pure joy becuase I love cars and I’ve never seen the back of a gauge cluster. This might sound weird but… One of my dreams would be to touch the gauge needles and pretend I’m the car turning them or something. That would be fun for a young one like me! 🙂
5:25 made in malaysia im proud
I don’t even need this fixed in my car but I love watching

"How to roll back odometer"
Awesome video, very informative and descriptive! Your great at what you do!
My 98 svt has a blown clutch. I am in the midst of ordering a new one and installing it myself. However, after the clutch blew, the odometer moves on its own at idle. The trip odometer and the actual milage. Have you ever seen or heard of this?
How to fix The speedometer with the spinning cable? I have one which connects to the transmission and God Knows why it's not working.. new cable, new engine.. :P
either the cable has snapped inside the sheath (the cable spins inside ), a gear is stripped or it has broken at the trans
at 5:25 motor is from Malaysia.
im from malaysia

Fucking hell this steering wheel is DISGUSTING
Haha. Yeah. You can see the orientation of all the other screws changed when you mentioned not to forget that one screw. I noticed they changed and thought of that just before you said it. Lol.
I wonder how his google search history look
Your video is fantastic. Couldn't be more easy to follow. I don't have a speedometer issue, but if I did.................Nicely done. Start working of Ferraris.
Love your videos
From Zahid
Your video very informative and amazing. Thank you so much
Changed the vss but no change so I'm going to check behind the cluster gauge tomorrow .
Even mechanics learn from his videos and one question what is about the lost mileage? Is there any way to find that out?
You're good m'man! Awesome work.
thank you very nice and clear talk and video.
Chris fix it I love your videos
I think you should've put some sort of lubricant on the plastic gears. The old ones looked like they had some white greasy material on them like how they put grease on toys with electric motors.
as you were putting the dial cluster back together i thought you had forgotten to put the led bulbs in, not knowing they go in from the back.
If you're a honda fan, you've done this before. If you haven't the sensor is usually on the top of the trans, not the bottom.
Im only 11 bit i cant stop watching these
Chris is more useful than a Ford dealer at fixing ford cars
I ❤️ the sound of the engine
9:30 dual wield ! now you're just showing off xD
Have the same problem with my 91 gmc vandura. But i wonder if I can do it the same way as you did this mustang
Will the speed sensor fix just the speedometer not working?
I have a ‘92 240sx with jdm sr20det swap.
Thanks in advance!
Another great, easy to follow video! I am wondering why you didn’t put any grease on the new gears. It looked like there was grease on the old parts.
Also, I was thinking of cleaning the prongs on electrical connections in the engine bay and applying a tiny amount of dielectric grease to keep them clean and avoid corrosion, not to mention being easier to disconnect when servicing. What are your thoughts?
ill give you my thoughts since he never replied it is a good way to protect ive done it on many things i would suggest it
Chris, if one of the bulbs are missing, will the lights work? If so what else do you check?
Many thanks mate
i have a 1994 gt and it worked. Thanks
Im having the same issues with my 2012 Altima. All guages are working fine except trip odometer... dont know how to fix that. Chris ... any opinion?
My 2000 Honda Civic odometer didn’t work so I had to repeatly push the trip odometer button and it got unstuck and works fine since. That was a couple of years ago.
You can't tell me this isn't also a great guide for reversing the miles on cars with analogue odometers
I wish ChrisFix would be my Trunk Monkey in all my cars and trucks. :)
Hey there!! I'm new to your channel and I love the way you explain things, I watched your video about the odometer issues and I need your help. The odometer and trip odometer just stopped turning on my 1995 Nissan pickup 4 cylinders with an automatic transmission. My RPM gauge has been broke for a while now but my odometers had been working till recently. Please help, what could be my problem, thanks 😊 🙏
Do I have to worry about moving the needles when I take it out or will they correct themselves when I start the car
Ur the best ever💪💪💪♥♥♥♥

I wanted to see a before and after of the LED upgrade
Yea, I was hoping to see that at the end too!
He does show what they look like briefly at 10:27
I have the same mustang and used the same LED lights when i fixed the odometer. It looks great but it makes the dashboard look blue while all the other lights in the car are green. I didn't think of that. I hated it so I had to go back to regular

"and while we're in here, we might as well roll back the odometer to 1985"
I do hope you know that commiting odometer fraud can land you in jail.
@@terrybaptist795 and how can anyone figure it out that you rolled it back? lol
@@shoppy112 They can if its a very unvelivable number. I once went to buy a car and this guy was selling a 1998 Opel with 60 000 km! And the engine had bad oil and gumy spark plugs plus a very rusted manifold.
@@shoppy112 That's big problem, I have 15 years old Fiat that has 150k miles, but engine unit says 300k lol (JTD rulez). There is like 1 in 100 cars that isn't rolled, since smart guys in Goverment don't think it's a crime. It's hard to tell a difference with that much mileage.
At least one car company (Pontiac) had weird glittery things that show on the odometer if you turn it back.

Ancyker Ik if you try to reset it, it won't work. Because if you try to sell it like that, most people will know what you did. And dealers would know if you reset it. Nobody would want to do that to an old car. They'll find out right away, so it's better to keep the car as a daily and forget about being a smart aleck 😂
Raging Rouge what if you only took a believable amount off if the cars in good condition
Nice meme Not possible, I'm pretty sure cars past the 2,000 era have a sensor in them which tell how much miles it has. Even if you try to lower the miles, the miles would go back to the original miles it had.
that`s an old car to you .my newest one is 55 years old..

How to correct an odometer that doesn't spin?
Don't.
ITS pretty good to know your mileage you know, it could save your life
@@osmanbinsa5135 may i ask how?
How the hell could you not fix your odometer. It's pretty damn important
@@EliteNK what Yuuki means is this;
When you try to sell a car, every mile it has been driven makes it makes the car less worth. So the less mileage, the higher you can sell it for.
So if it doesn't spin, the client won't know how much more you are actually making a ripping them off.
@@thephantom7578 lol..what kind of logic is that?? I will leave the car right away if the odometer is broken!
ooooooo is that how you roll back the odometer? :)

7:08 for those who are wondering
Noah Snyder what is a trip odometer btw
@@potentix The smaller odometer that you can reset at your leisure.
I remember on the movie Matilda, Danny Devito used a electric drill to reverse the odometer to increase the value of the car lol
Lol I was thinking the same thing 😂
I thought of ferris beulers day off where he puts the Ferrari in the air and runs it in reverse all day to get the miles to roll back
What you can make a $100 car into a $105 car.
depends on the car
That doesn't work. if the original miles are lower then whats on the title, when you register the car, the DMV will put a notice on the title that says "NOT ORIGINAL MILES" from there on, you just straight up decreased the value of the car. It works in movies, not in reality.

Hey Chris, is the process the same for a 00 Honda CRV? If so could I use the same piece you linked to in the description?
It should work the same if you have an analog odometer butter mustang gear won’t work. Gotta buy a specific one for the CRV. It could be other things as well so once you verify it’s the odometer and you get the gauges out, you can do some more diagnosing.
@@chrisfix hey Chris does this also apply to a speedometer that is displaying the wrong speed?
@@samueltoledo3902 depends on the cause did the speedometer stop displaying the right speed after you changed your rims? If you changed them and they're not the same diameter as your previous set rim and tyre combined diameter then that can be throwing the speed sensor off.
i dont have a obt2
Too sad
This video is absolutely outstanding - even by ChrisFix standards. You have to watch, even if you never intend to fix an odometer. The attention to detail is unsurpassed, the video quality is exceptional, and the commentary is in a class of its own. You simply CANNOT beat a ChrisFix video.
