My tachometer stopped counting miles (kilometers)
Post Body

Hi everyone,

I want to know if someone had the same experience or a similar like mine and what could i do to fix the issue.

When i bought the car, everything on the instrument cluster was working fine, except the lights when turning on the headlights. So after reading online, i've seen that the left knob is to modulate the instrument cluster lightning. So after doing so, the trip meter stopped counting (usually getting stuck at reading 300 meters, 400 meters or sometimes 900 meters) which also triggers my mileage to not go up.

When turning that knob felt almost like a rusty screw, and of course didn't solve the problem with the instrument cluster light.

I use the car once every month or two, and sometimes it reads past those 900 metres counting some kilometres until it gets stuck again (for example 40.9km) but if i ever reset that trip meter again it gets stuck.

I would like to understand what could be causing this and what could i do to fix it, i want to try doing it myself first.

Thanks!
