Tungsten Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Do you have a digital odometer or an analog old school odometer? If you have a regular analog old school one then you will need to replace the cluster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Do you have a digital odometer or an analog old school odometer? If you have a regular analog old school one then you will need to replace the cluster. The 1996 Pathfinder has an analog odometer and trip odometer.

theexbrit Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have the exact same problem on my '96. Analog odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's located at the "U-Pull it" in Rock Hill, SC. I was thinking of you when I found it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 What happens is the odometer gear breaks leaving the odometer non-functional. I saw this happen before on quite a few models and it even happened to my WD21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TShep704 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 yeah its the analog... only bad part is my pathy only has 98k miles which is a good selling point, just not when the odometer doesnt work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend told me that it's fairly common. He said there's a little plastic gear that strips the thread like Tungsten said. You might be able to replace just that gear or jerry rig it somehow. I'm not going to bother with mine, when I get rid of my Pathy it'll only be ready for the scrap heap Edited February 12, 2012 by theexbrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It will either strip the thread or break in half. Get another cluster just so that you can stay on top of oil changes. Mine just went way out of sync. Proof the gears will break in half over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may fix mine at some point, I only use the Pathy for desert fun once or twice a month so it's easy to keep rough track of the mileage so it's not that important for me. I use my gps to keep a rough mileage record for my trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
