Someone please help this newbie.

Hi,
My '97CL odometer, speedometer, tachymeter, basically the shebang on the panel don't work anymore. Does anyone had this same problem before and how to fix it yourself before resorting to the shop at the dealer. I have a spare panel if you think that can be of any help. It has 126K on the odometer but my current odometer only has 97K. How to resolve this problem if I have to install the spare odometer? By the way, I checked to see if any fuse blows but I didn't see any. Thanks for your help.

Jimmy

You can usually find them on ebay with like 50-60K on them. It would be next to impossible to convince someone that your car only has 80k when the odometer says 120somethin.

Try this one

yeah that could be...my bro had that problem and the MPH needle wouldnt move. If the whole thing isnt working then check the connections on the back of the gauge panel.
