We have a 2000 LS1 and the odometer stopped working. The speed-o and all other instruments work in the cluster. We've tried another entire cluster but that one didn't work either which leads us to believe it's more than just the odometer in the cluster being broken. Any advice?? Any idea of where we could get a diagram of the cluster? I've been reading the posts and they all seem to be leaning towards the broken plastic gears, but in those posts the cars were all like 92-94's. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

This is an electronic display, not a mechanical one, right? AFIK - all your gauges are driven electrically off of a CAN Bus between the Body Control Module and the instrument cluster. Outside of looking for loose connectors, best to have someone with a good scan tool run some diagnostics on it. The odometer reading (iirc) is stored in the BCM and the odometer display is just a dumb readout.

Are there any other indications that are not working correctly? Daytime Running Lights, Seat Belt Indicator, Low Fuel Level Indicator, Fuel Gage, Trunk Open Indicator? All of these are powered by the BCM, as well as a few others. If all of them are working correctly, the issue may reside in the BCM itself, or in the wiring in between.
