I'm probably going to get my head chewed off if I don't mention that I DID read https://www.240turbo.com/240-odometer-repair.html before coming here. However, I'm two for two on having odd odometer repair experiences.
The speedometer on this car ('89 245) has always worked just fine, but lately I've noticed that it sometimes takes about ten miles for the odometer to start working. I figured, it wasn't a huge deal. I'll buy the gears and replace them when they come in. That wasn't the issue. The gears I pulled out were still in good shape. I figured I would try the new ones anyway in case something was stripped that I couldn't see. My eyes aren't the greatest.
The odometer came to life right away, but gave out after about ten miles. I have a parts cluster, but it's for a non-cruise control car and the car I'm working on has working cruise that we would like to retain. Has anybody in here had luck replacing individual components on their speedometer circuit boards? Is it possible that the little capacitor on there is giving me trouble?
If anybody by chance has a good K9800 with cruise control speedo circuit board I would gladly buy it from you! Thanks!
