GearGambler Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Car is a 94 GT. I had the problem where the odometer stopped working. I found a GREAT vid on youtube by LMS that showed how to fix it. I ordered the parts and did the repair. Simple! sure enough, one of those gears came out in pieces. while I was at it, I got LED replacement bulbs from eBay for the dash bulbs. I replaced all of those (there are 5), the two in the heater controls, and two for the license plate bulbs. at first I thought i had bad ones, but it turns out that they are directional. I turned them around and they worked. I'm kicking myself for not doing this a LONG time ago. what a huge difference! I would take a pic, but low light and camera make for a potato quality pic. If anyone wants more info on this, let me know! Edit: I updated my blog with a write up! http://geargambler.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Funny I am doing the exact same thing. Odometer stopped working so i bought the gears for it and LEDs to put in since it will be out. Should be doing that tonight or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearGambler Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm glad that I wasn't alone in putting them in backwards! Since I bought them from eBay, I thought I wound up with some junk. turned them around and it was fine. I agree, it is one of the best mods to be done to the interior of our cars. I also replaced the license plate illumination bulbs. WAY brighter! Here is the link to the bulbs I used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/150793635333?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
