I'm finishing up putting the wiring back together on my '93, and I'm not sure how the odometer is supposed to function. The ECU is not currently connected, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. When I turn the car on, the odometer lights up, but no mileage is displayed. Does displaying the mileage require something special? I thought the mileage was stored inside the gauge cluster.

For reference, there is one thing that I haven't connected that I can think of, which is a metal box that connects somewhere in the passenger footwell. I think it has a yellow connector.

Other than that, I think everything is connected.

 

the mileage is stored in the cluster, did it work before it was removed?

mine failed it much the same way, would light up but wouldent display anything

 

Yeah, it didn't work before either.

Do I just replace the cluster?

 

yep, but your going to lose your odo settings.

 

Um, for some reason it started working. I apparently had 65k on my old shell.

Odd.
