FeelthePathos95 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 All other instrumentation normal, except of course the trip odometer frozen too. Assuming there is a sensor under a wheel well to look at. In the world I'd like to live in I wouldn't have to pull the cluster and futz around behind it. Appreciate your experiences, theories, guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Does your speedometer still operate? It may be that the voltage regulator at the back of the dash needs help, it may be that the drive gear in the transmission has broken a few teeth if you have no speedo. Anyone else want to throw out a few ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelthePathos95 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Speedometer still works along with everything else except odometer/trip odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 As far as I have looked ( not closely) there are gears in the back of the dash that I assume are run off of the speedo cable. Have you tried resetting the trip meter(s) gently. That worked on mine until I popped it hard once and broke one of the gears/ teeth off.... soon after the speedo stopped operating due to .... ahh.... I'm not sure... something silly I may have done.

FeelthePathos95 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Haven't tried anything yet. Just noticed it while driving today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 try pressing the odometer reset button, sometimes they get stuck. The odometer runs off a gear from the speedometer so if the speedometer is working than there is nothing wrong with the speed sensor, no cable for the speedometer in the 94.

FeelthePathos95 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Started it last night and noticed the electronic trip odometer screen has gone blank. Nothing appears on screen when you move the little nob to try to reset it. My old Pathfinder had the manual trip odometer, so maybe there is a reset step on the electronic one that I'm unfamiliar with. But I'm now suspicious that something decided to short out or something. It does illuminate, just no numbers appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 probably a bulb for the part where the numbers are. Does the normal analog odometer work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelthePathos95 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 No, out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 May have to pull the cluster and check where the odometer makes contact with the gear on the speedometer, I've read where the LCD for the digital odometers don't like cold weather also but if the analog odometer is not working it is probably a physical thing. Have you checked to see if the light dimmer is not turned down all the way? I don't think it controls the brightness on the digital odometer but worth it to check it.

FeelthePathos95 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'll check. Had other things to do this weekend and since it isn't driveability issue I left it alone. Could be due to cold. First hard winter for this vehicle, as you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have the digital trip meter as well and it works fine in the cold. I would check connections and maybe tighten the brass screws on the back of the cluster. They're the ground points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelthePathos95 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Minor update. Digital trip odometer went from being illuminated but blank to having information displayed again. Went ahead and reset it. Seems to be working fine again. Main odometer still lifeless. Guessing I'll have to get behind the cluster but it's going to have to wait for some warmer weather.

FeelthePathos95 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Final update. Odometer started working again for whatever reason. Thinking Adamzan has called it and I have dicey connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
