Digital Trip Meter   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1141 of 1194 |
Hi,

My digital Trip Meter has decided not to play anymore.
It has power, the clock works, I disconnected the battery to try a
reset; but basically it will show about a total of 4 miles on a 40 mile
journey so suspect it is not picking up the data it needs at the
required rate.
So question is where is the sensor? So I can possibly clean it?
Anybody had a similar fault or any good ideas......buy a new one!!??

thanks
rgds
Dave
