New Odometer Gears, Still no workie
« on: May 26, 2008, 11:15:48 AM »
Recently I replaced broken odometer gears in my non-OBC 318is with Motometer cluster. Everything else in the cluster works fine, including the SI lights and speedometer. I can get the odometer to work by turning the gears by hand and by running compressed air across the main gear. I'm thinking this may be an electrical issue. What think ye?

I found the problem!  The little gear mounted on the motor shaft is missing!

That nice little $25 12 tooth gear is a painful but necessary purchase.:(
