I have a 1984 Dodge 600 ES Turbo, which is equipped with a digital dashboard.Thankfully, most everything on it works just fine. However there is one problem which I would greatly like to fix, and that is the odometer.
It is completely whack. Everytime the car is started it resets to either 19383, 19385, or 19387. It will start to rack up the miles, but not to scale. I can drive 10, 20, or 50 miles and it will never go over 19395. Then of course when the car is turned off and on again it goes right back to one of those numbers in the 19380s.
I've heard before that when a digital dash goes, the car is as good as junk. I really hope this isn't true, and that either I or a mexhanic can somehow fix this odo. For now it's lost at most only 1,000 miles to the glitch, but as I drive more and more it will be hard to tell how many miles it really has.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed (or if it even can be)?
Also if it cannot be fixed is there some kind of aftermarket odo that can be installed so I can at least keep track of the miles somehow?
