Subject: speedometer Author: Ken [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/ 20/ 07, 2:41pm Hi there, does anyone know any tricks or secrets on the easiest way to remove the odometer, i made a mild atempt at it by removing the screwed side rails around the bottom dash panel, but could not see what was holding in the top panel, looks like a real job, any suggestions are greatly appreaciated, I wonder if bluebird ever produced an actuall repair manuel outside of all the manuels it came with? Thanks Ken [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: speedometer Author: Steve Anderson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 26/ 07, 9:24am Since the early 1960s until the present BB has made a lot of dash styles, and odometers have undergone a lot of changes from mechanical to electronic to digital. to answer your question, one would need to know of which year BB your question pertains to.

Maybe it is concealed in a mike holder. that should let you remove that part. watch out for the million wires that are there. Ernie-83PT40 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: speedometer Author: Ken [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 02/ 27/ 07, 2:39pm Hi Ernie, It has the cb mike plug on the side of the upper dash toward the bottom, I drove the bird down town last week to get emmissions done then a couple days later I noticed that the trip meter and odometer had tripped off about 8 miles, wich is probably how far I drove it. I didnt notice when I was driving if it moved but apperantley it did. then when I was sitting there noticing that I decided to turn the ingnition switch on and off a few times and noticed each time I clicked it on and off the odometer would click off another tenth? maybe before I tear the odometer out I should find a schematic of that circut to see exactly how it works. I was just approaching it like a regular vehicle odometer when the odometer quits working and speedo still does its usually in the speedo head. but with it clicking off with the ignition Im not sure what to think.any ideas on where to get the schematic, or do you know someone that is familiar with working on this , sure would like to fix it but dont want to start tearing it out till I know more about how it works, im woundering if there is something else that maybe powers or works the odometer seperate from the speedometer, if i had the schematic im sure i could figure it out. I drove it home when I bought it 1500 miles and it never clicked off anything, thanks again ken [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
