Does anyone know what is involved in installing a new odometer and where to get one new or used?

yeah, ebay or junkyard..and it's a very easy procedure to remove the old one

remove old one and reinstall new one

Isn't it a few screws and some clips......then just unplug the old one and plug in the new one ?

I would check ebay for that part, they always seem to have it at a better price then the junkyard, if not I'd check the junkyard second.

You can also use the cluster from a 4th Gen Camry. Just make sure you get the one for automatic or if you're a 5spd you'll need to find that cluster.

its 6 screws, clips, and 3 plugs for the cluster.

Are we talking the whole gauge cluster or just the odometer?

if u are replacing the whole cluster, ur original mileage will not be there anymore, the memory of mileage is stored in the cluster, not in ECU or somewhere else.

^^^^ hmmmm is that an alternative to rolling back the mileage on the odometer if you decide to give it back to the dealer from a lease return or what not ? ? ? ?

by **Hsakuragi** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 11:29 am

yes, but u already against the law

by **1st Gen Sol** » Wed Jun 22, 2005 11:47 am

^^^^ yeah that I know I was just curious if that was a way for peeps that do that type of stuff if they wanted too and something to look out for on the newer cars when buying one.....hehehehe

thanks

Yes it is...
I got a gauge cluster off Ebay witha bout 28k on it. (Came with Indiglos and CF Bezel) I pluged it in briefly, turned on the ignition, and it did indeed read 28k.

So its definitly something to look out for. Mileage does get put on your carfax record from time to time, but for some cars it doesnt (Last reading on my own carfax is from when I first got the car, and im almost at 60k now. It definitly gets recorded when you register it though). I dont know if theres any surefire way to tell the mileage though, so you just have to trust that the gauge cluster was not swapped out with one with lower mileage.

when u bring ur car to dealer, the date and mileage will appear on car fax report
