Use your vehicle&rsquo;s owner&rsquo;s manual to find a way to access the dashboard and repair or replace the odometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips on How to Access the Odometer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replacing the speedometer with an OEM part requires the odometer mileage to be recorded so that the replacement odometer will have exactly the same mileage. Some older replacement odometers came with a red tenths digit and a sticker that went on the door by the VIN sticker recording the mileage when the odometer was replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column92918_6237b8-dc > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column92918_6237b8-dc >

After this, remove the dashboard panel and disconnect any wires. This way, you can remove the instrument cluster safely so long as you do it slowly and carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One handy tip every driver should follow before removing an instrument cluster is to keep track of where each wire and connector should go. Make a map of sorts with pen and paper to record where parts should go. When fixing an odometer, it&rsquo;s important to keep track of where the wires and connectors need to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Your Hands on a Replacement Odometer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The odometer is used to track and display the vehicle&rsquo;s total mileage.
