odometer isn't recording mileage

junior54 · 08-26-2005, 04:25 PM

I just bought a 1997 F - 150. I just noticed that the odometer is not recording the mileage. I know there could be a number of reasons but I don't know where to start, could someone please help.
Thanks

I wonder how many actual miles are on the truck then? You could have been ripped off. The truck may have a crazy amount of miles on it with you thinking there were less.

BTW - for resale it might not be a bad idea not to fix that problem.

I did a history check on the vehicle and got numbers from last service and on trade. There is no problem with the mileage, I just don't know where to start on a fix.

First check to see if the speed senser is connected on the trans. The milage should read out as digital, do you have numbers or dashes in that space?
