i watched your odometer repair,but my problem with my odometer is everything of the needle to record the speedometer that works my problem is it doesn't record the miles for the miles i travel,in the numbers below,how can i fix that unit to record the miles I've traveled
I read as well that those four screws complete the circuit for the speedometer, and they can back out and become loose over time. One fix I saw for this was using conductive glue as a thread locker, so the circuit still completes without backing out.
Did pretty much the same thing with my A32 Maxima before seeing your video. It appears to have largely sorted the problem except for a slight hesitation when starting from a dead stop. Have seen one vid where a fix was made by just tweaking the speedo mounting screws. These make critical electrical connections.
I had an intermittent speedo on mine ('97; close enough). No amount of cleaning helped. I reflowed some (4, I think) solder joints and it has worked for years. I had the instrument cluster out so many times chasing that down. No tilt wheel. It takes some fiddling, but can be done.
I I've watched your vidio,how to fix an odometer spin,but that's not my problem on my 1996 Nissan pickup truck the needle works find for the speed I'm traveling but it doesn't register the miles how can i fix that unit? 4:37
First I want to say Thank you for the post at 3:01 you state that removing the 4 screws that the "tachometer" will fall out. It is the "Speedometer" that falls out not the tachometer" :) Did it work better after putting it all back together and testing?
th-cam.com/video/a_6NzE6l4wE/w-d-xo.html Check out this video. I watched this a few days ago because I'm having problems with my 95 hardbodys RPM gauge, fuel gauge and temp gauge.
it stopped working for me after a dew days. i did it again and made sure to clean the 4 screws that attach the speedometer to the cluster and it worked again
There are two schools of thought. One is that any lubrication is good. The other is that grease attracts dirt, which wears the parts. If there was grease on the gears before cleaning, add some. If not, don't. Also, make sure that any grease you add isn't going to react with the gears and deform them or make them brittle.
@@Lugnutz65 It was years ago, so I'm fuzzy on details. I'm thinking it was those four wires nearest the round metal part that you can see at 3:13. They just needed to be reflowed. Probably only one of those joints needed it, but I was in there and soldering is easy, so I just did all 4. I think it was the wiring between the board and the actual electromechanical part. Vibration plus age plus defect (early lead free solder was notoriously bad) probably led to a cracked joint. When hitting the dash makes something start working, it is usually a dirty contact or a broken solder joint.
Everyone watch out only use your fingers for the clips and be patient Next to the clips Things that are very fragile and electrical.... My speedometer was never broken but anyways it didn't fix the odometer I sprayed Mass air flow cleaner erase the numbers on the odometer Stuff is too strong...😢
Don't use MAF cleaner for anything but cleaning MAFs. Also, don't use anything else for cleaning MAFs. IIRC, they used contact cleaner. Very different stuff. I'd still test contact cleaner on something sacrificial.
Thanks for the tip, I tried this on my 96 pickup a few hours ago and the speedometer is working just fine now
Many thanks for posting this fix Good-E-Nuff. Worked like a charm on my '96. Much obliged!

Excellent video, thanks very much. There's not much out there on Hardbody trucks.

Same issue, did you ever get it fixed?
great job on this video. you make it look easy. I am going for it , thanks :)
Same here, mine been like this for 20+ years and never bothered with fixing it. Now I'm going to try.

My question sir is, did it work after you cleaned it?
Awesome! Now do a quick and easy heater core replacement. I'll thank you in advance. Haha.
This worked well for me. Just did it!
I have a 1995 hardbody D21 with a the odometer not clocking. Any idea how to fix it. The speedometer is working perfectly.
Did you get it fixed? Having g the same issue.
Is there a fix for a 1995 hardbody 3.0L V6 odometer not working?
Thanks
Wondering the same thing?
What about the relay under the dash to the right of the steering wheel? Could that also be a causing this issue?
How did you know that the malfunction was caused by the dust ?
Why do you keep saying tachometer when it is the Speedometer you are removing?
My apologies, most of my life ive called the speedometer the Tachometer and the Tachometer the RPM Gauge 😂
Thank you.very much
Mine had the same problem. Ended up being a bad capacitor on the speedometer circuit board.
Excellent.
Would this work for the fuel gauge or is that possible fuel pump issues?

No problem!
Where’d you get the speedometer at
One came with my truck.
I have an issue whereby my speedometer works but the ODOMETER stopped working. Any ideas?
Hey did u find your issue ? My stopped working too
I have the same issue. Let me know if for some reason this works. Mine worked for a little bit then quite
Same anyone find a way to fix it?

GREAT VIDEO QUICK QUESTION DONT YOU NEED TO ADD GREASE TO THE GEARS JUST CURIOUS

I have the 92’ d21 4cyl and when I’m driving my Speedo keeps getting stuck do you think this might help or is it a different deal?
No that's probably a speedo cabel issue, i believe after 94 there electrical instead
Pretty good bed I'm having an issue with my tachometer I make sure I shoot that stuff into its "nooks and crannies"
I like to know the location of speedometer sensor
Usually on the transmission.
It didn’t fix it. It worked for 2 days but then stopped working again. It’s a circuit board problem that the cleaner can’t fix.
I had to do some soldering on mine.
@@thesquarerootofnegativei6225 What part did you solder?
@@Lugnutz65 It was years ago, so I'm fuzzy on details. I'm thinking it was those four wires nearest the round metal part that you can see at 3:13. They just needed to be reflowed.

Not “nooks and nannies ”, the phrase is “nooks and crannies”.
Going to ebay for round GPS speed and odometer 12 volts...ama zon is mph only cant check gas mileage.
That’s not a tac that is the speedometer
Everyone watch out only use your fingers for the clips and be patient Next to the clips Things that are very fragile and electrical.... My speedometer was never broken but anyways it didn't fix the odometer I sprayed Mass air flow cleaner erase the numbers on the odometer Stuff is too strong...😢
it says use CRC electronic cleaner not mass air flow sensor cleaner. Completely different.
Speedometer don't have 160,my last number is 100,he must have a v6
His speedometer is Canadian, the big numbers are kilometers and the little ones are miles (his only goes to 100 mph too)
mass airflow cleaner melts the numbers from the trip odomter!!!!!
Don't use MAF cleaner for anything but cleaning MAFs. Also, don't use anything else for cleaning MAFs. IIRC, they used contact cleaner. Very different stuff. I'd still test contact cleaner on something sacrificial.
