Speedometer works with some noise & a smidgen of jumping. Odometer does not (do not know how long it's not worked). Picture enclosed don't know what is supposed to screw onto the fitting as I see no cable or likely culprit in the area. Can I disassemble the head by removing the 4 small slotted screws visible in the picture? Thanks for any input. . |

Are the bulbs earthed? Could potentially be an earth strap. Or does if have a trip-meter? The parts manual suggests it does - could be the reset for that. Sorry, our Cloud is in the mechanics and I can't check... |

Thanks for the response. The major concern is trying to get the odometer working again. It does have a trip-meter & given the location, I'm assuming that is the missing cable. I hate half-assed mechanics as it was obviously removed by 1 & never replaced. The bulbs have been checked with an ohmmeter & are good, but don't know why they wouldn't ground to the housing. 2 of 5 work. |

Hello Bill welcome to the Forum. I have never personally dismantled one of these instruments so afraid not able to offer good advice. I see you are in U.S.A, the American Forum has some really great contributors that may be of assistance to you. Regards David |

Thanks David. My initial experience with the US forum led me to believe I'm an idiot for even thinking of a question, much less posting it. |
