Cheapest and Easiest Way to Fix Broken Odometer on Ford Rangers and Explorers, Best Technique

[@NutmegThumper]

Excellent lighting, camera placement, narration, explanation. Thank you! Servo looks like complicated step. Not surprised gear deteriorated after 25+ years in heat/cold! Steps start at 2:40.

[@everydayirace]

Ford started installing better quality gear in 98+ rangers.

[@gabeguedea2499]

Just got done doing this. I thought to myself “ehh I’m sure it’s still on 0 but let me just make sure in case.. “ turns out with the odometer gear repair i can now do 40mph in 1st!! Hahaha watched the whole way thru step by step and I can’t thank you enough... flawless vid

[@everydayirace]

Glad this video helped.

[@stevesharp1186]

You don't have to take the speedometer needle off or remove the circuit board. I was able to take the entire center cluster unit and just rotate the odometer drive motor CLOCKWISE to remove it after lifting up on the white plastic tab holding it in place. After pressing the new gear on, it goes back in easily with a short twist COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

[@rollyae82]

Very informative! just brought a replacement instrument cluster with tacho and dont want the 400k plus odometer that comes with it lol

[@everydayirace]

I don't think I've ever seen a 97 and older gauge cluster with that many miles, black plastic gear doesn't last that long.

[@rollyae82]

@@everydayirace 😅 kms we are in Australia. I just figured I only need to swap the taco not the whole cluster..

[@burtonboucher7110]

made easy work replacing the gear. I did have speedometer showing 20mph after driving. removed the glass, drove around, stopped and replaced the needle at zero. Took a couple of times but appears to be measuring correctly.

[@watagump1]

Just finished doing this about 10 min ago on my 96 B2300. Made it to 235,000+ miles. The only downside is paying $36 to buy it at a local auto parts store, total ripoff since I wasn't about to drive it longer while waiting for one to be shipped.

[@classicstangbrn8964]

What about the gear shift indicator cable you broke?

[@Alphawolfgoon]

Amazing!!!!! thank you

[@robertcollins224]

I'd like you to know that you went about removing the odometer cluster from the gauge panel. I guess you clipped out the parts where you pulled the needles off the odometer and speedometer. The odometer motor simply turns a quarter turn counterclockwise off of some clips and comes out by itself. You do not need to take out any screws

[@tomference4618]

..excellent presentation!

[@dennydeckerful]

Do you have a video of you taking out the cluster?

[@everydayirace]

I don't, it's pretty easy though.

[@dennydeckerful]

@everydayirace OK thanks

[@schmidtpe]

Just went to the link for ebay ..said the gear does not fit 95 ford ranger any suggestions

[@everydayirace]

It fits 95-03 rangers.

[@dennydeckerful]

Same here

[@jimenezbros96]

Great video. My temperature gauge sits below C while on and never moves I’ve changed the sensor and nothing. Also my fuel gauge is off empty is at 1/4 of a tank I replaced the sending unit nothing. Any ideas what wrong with my gauges I appreciate it thanks

[@everydayirace]

Thanks Gabriel, servo motor in the gauge cluster for temp gauge probably dead and fuel gauge most likely anti slosh module went bad.

[@jimenezbros96]

@@everydayirace where can I buy a new servo motor and how hard is it to replace?

[@tintdr]

@@everydayirace where is the anti slosh module located?

[@everydayirace]

@@tintdr in the back of the gauge cluster.

[@RobertMungo-u6l]

Good video where did you find your new parts

[@everydayirace]

eBay

[@jordanbates9212]

Where did you buy that gear?

[@Kylefishgerald]

Idk if I’ll get a reply but can’t I just replace the whole assembly instead of just the servo and roll the miles to my exact miles? Idk if that’s possible or not just seems easier.

[@brandonfleetwood]

You ever get an answer on this question anywhere else?

[@RobAndrewGuitar]

You can replace the whole cluster, but if you want to roll the miles on the new one, you're going to pretty much have to take your new cluster apart like this and do 90 per cent of this process anyway

[@onokaya]

Thanks. Gear gone! New one works!

[@joeblanco6188]

Do you know if replacing the fuel gauge cluster can fix my fuel tank full level? I already replace my fuel assembly and a whole new gas tank. It reads empty but I have gas in it

[@everydayirace]

Depends if the cluster is the problem.

[@joeblanco6188]

@@everydayirace how can I tell if it is? Every other gauge works fine but the fuel level. I had just pick up a used cluster off a junk yard but I dont know if it’s defect or in good condition.

[@everydayirace]

Not working fuel gauge is a common problem, most of the time it's the anti slosh module.

[@joeblanco6188]

@@everydayirace thx a lot imma look into that. Hope it fixes it 🤞🏼

[@lonypuga]

Hello, I followed all the steps shown, but when everything was reinstalled, the speedometer was showing "35mph" when not moving. I then adjusted the needle how you showed to correct if this was to happen and it went down to about "22mph" when the vehicle was not moving. Do I keep adjusting it or do I need to do something else?

[@everydayirace]

Best way is to set it with truck moving.

[@lonypuga]

@@everydayirace How would I go about doing this? Is there any other way than using the gps app? Also keeping a steady speed while moving the vehicle and setting it correctly?

[@everydayirace]

Pull the glass out of the gauge cluster, enable gps on your phone, drive on a straight road at 40mph, install needle at 40mph, make sure road is empty and use common sense. If you have a scanner that reads vehicle speed, you can jack rear of the truck and accomplish the same thing with truck not moving.

[@carlosmejia9301]

Would it be the same as a 97 ford mustang

[@everydayirace]

It's different but actually easier on a 94-98 mustang cluster, usually both gears fail, you can get gears on eBay.

[@katzmotel8267]

Will this also fix the speedometer? I've replaced speed sensor already.

[@everydayirace]

No, it's odometer fix only.

[@Kuhlyedascope69]

yoo katz my speedo and odom arent working same for you?

[@Magnum5.9360]

I did all this but removed the tachometer needle now the tachometer never reads correct any solutions to fix this?

[@everydayirace]

Reinstall the needle pointing at the speed of the engine when it's running. Meaning if engine is running at 900rpm, reinstall the needle pointing at 900rpm.

[@everardoquintana1097]

I doit this in an b2300-96, and when i put de needle, noted than the axis, alwais go to 0mph, (no mather the position of the needle in the shaft when you meved over to 10mph, to reasembly, this reset to 10mph=0mph) when you put the needle again you introduced a 10mph error in velocimeter, compared data with gps, i need to doo some tricks(Move the shaft some to 10mph whith a little gripper, only slightly, to avoid the shaft reset to 10 mph=0mph); and press the needle, mantaint that position to reduce de diference with the velocimeter and real velocity of the truck.

[@gustavocandal1721]

Did you just change the plastic part? Tanks

[@everydayirace]

Yes, plastic gear.

[@philmaples9865]

I have a 96 4cyl 5spd that did not come with a tachometer. If I get a cluster that has one, can I swap it out and have it work without doing any extra things? Great video btw.

[@everydayirace]

I will make a video on that later.

[@samborez]

Yes you can,BUT it,the tach/cluster needs to be from a 4 cylinder truck. It will not read correctly if from a 3.0 or a 4.0.

[@phuonglemackay2244]

So this one doesn't display the tenths of miles?

[@johnschley2065]

Will this change this mileage of the truck

[@everydayirace]

No, this only fixes odometer.

[@retastricitieswashington7873]

Thanks a lot so helpful video 👍

[@marlonr1521]

Thanks bro I will fix mine thanks to you

[@steventrautman7839]

Nice information…!

[@aaronsmalley1323]

Could there be a similar fix for a temperamental tachometer... works occasionally.. then.. acts dead ... could be dead for months.. then wa-la..works for a second ... dead again..

[@everydayirace]

Sounds like a bad connection or weak tach servo motor. My truck had a lose connector between the engine harness and cab harness, I had to disconnect it, clean it, spray electrical grease and connect it back up, the connector on my 95 ranger was right by clutch pedal.
