On my '93 Vic I have one more issue, besides the ding ding ding.

The odometer and trip odometer quit. Speedo is OK. The dealer wants $700 to fix it. I told him it's a '93 and $700 is probably what the whole car is worth. He grinned and said $700. Plus they would have to keep the car for about 2 weeks while they sent the speedo someplace. Plus have a notary public swear that I was telling the truth. Blah blah blah. This is California.

Maybe I could pull an instrument cluster from the junk yard for $30. That is, if I can find a '93 with about 100k mi. Maybe pull my instrument cluster and send it to a speedo shop.

Any ideas on how to fix the odo? This won't be a problem until I go in for a smog check again. Then they'll catch it.

Thanks.

On a car that old, does Calif. REQUIRE the odo function? Perhaps that is why the dealer grinned.....
