A few weeks ago I took out the instrument cluster in a '92 244, and when I put it back in the trip odometer and odometer ceased to function. I pulled it out again, took it apart, and true to form all the gears were in perfect condition-teeth and all. It took about 60 miles of driving for the odometer/trip odometer to begin working, and they continued to work even after I reset the trip odometer some three times after going some 200 plus miles.

Last Saturday I took out the cluster(without disconnecting any wires) to take a picture of the back, and when I had put it back in, the odometer and trip odometer had once again decided not to work. How I should tackle this I do not know. Any help would be greatly appreciated....Thanks

p.s. Sorry for the same topic being contionously rehashed

Re: (1sciroccofahrer)

you may have to take it into a speedometer shop to get it diagnosed. im sure theres one in your area. i know this probably isnt the answer you were looking for but it seems to be out of the reach of anyone but a specialist.

this is a bit off topic but Sprechen sie Deutsch?

when you have it out see if the gears turn the numbers. if not then id run outside as soon as possible in a bathrobe with a bedpan and a wooden spoon and walk down the middle of the street banging on the bedpan with the wooden spoon screaming "the swedish are coming, the swedish are coming!" then try a dabble of white lithium grease on the gears and try again.
