1993 toyota 4runner odometer problems

[tj5552ishere]

i have a 1993 toyota 4runner. the odometer has stopped working and the speedometer, tachometer, gas gauge, oil pressure, and the heat gauge still work. is there any way to try to fix the odometer without buying a new dash setup? thank you for your help!

You could try to disassemble it, but since they are built to be tamper proof, I doubt you'd have much success. You could line up a replacement before you try, just in case.

are there any cables or fuzes that control the odometer? or is it ran by a small gear?

On trucks with speedometer cables the odometer is driven my the same cable. Im not sure how it works with and electronic speedo

I had the same problem i just pulled the speedometer cable out of the transmission and looked at it there is a little plastic gear that tends to pop off the cable you just have to line it up right and make sure its in securely

he said his speedometer is still working though, just the odometer is not working

I had the same problem with the odometer in a 1993 pickup (same one as a 4Runner) with electronic speedo. The numbers stopped turning between 199,999km and 200,000 km.

The trip odometer was also hard to reset on mine. I removed the cluster and sprayed some WD 40 in it between the numbers. The trip odometer was much easier to reset and the odometer was working again after that. The only minor problem I noticed after I sprayed WD 40 was a greasy film appearing on the speedo faceplate around the odometer numbers. I didn't remove the cluster just to clean it.

Maybe there's something better to lubricate the sticky numbers but that's all I had on hand when I did the job and it worked!

I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing this same problem on their odo and fixed it the same way?
