Auto Parts: 1999 honda passport, odometer reset, plastic bezel

Question
Hi,
My speedometer has always worked with no problems. For some reason, the
needle has gotten below the peg at zero. The odometer works fine as does
the other gages. The needle moves when you start off but it hits the peg at
zero and  stops. I tried holding the odometer reset and turning the car on,
but it doesn't spin counter clockwise- the way it would need to. It only spins
clockwise. Any advise would be appreciated.

Answer
Hi Lauren,

You are probably going to have to remove the cluster and then the plastic bezel and move the needle by hand back to where it needs to be.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
