Speed Sensor question
I have a manual 1992 S13 whose speedometer works but the odometer does not. Will a new speed sensor fix this problem? Thank you in advance.

No, the speed sensor drives both and if it were bad they would both be dead.
This is a mechanical failure in the odometer drive, there's a stepper motor which drives some nylon gears, the gears can slip out of line and get stripped. https://imgur.com/a/kgCLBOO You can see the stripped gear here, it's the one driven by the worm gear on the stepper motor. In mine I moved the gear back into place, used a dab of CA glue to try to keep it from sliding sideways on the shaft again, used a small pick to re-form the gear teeth a bit, then added a fresh drop of 3in1 oil. It's been working fine since! Last edited by AKADriver; 06-22-2023 at 08:03 PM.. |

@AKADriver: Thank you very much for taking the time and effort. Your info and photo greatly helped me, and I may decide to forego removing the panel and trying to fix it. Thanks again,
have a great summer. |
