im looking for a way too shut off the milage on a 2002 jeep liberty.i seen it done on a number of veicles by bypassing the cluster fuse with a toggle..if anyone knows a way to do it with this paticular automobile i would like to hear from you.Just to let you know im not looking to do it to cheat the system...but im hoping to earn an A+ in my studies


Mnaps01 did pass the time by typing:

Sorry, but that information allows people to defraud insurance companies and subsequent car buyers. Besides which even if you do shut it off the cars computer maintains that fault code forever. All it takes then is an OBD-III scantool to detect the fraud.

It's also an easy way to loose nearly all the Jeeps resale value with an "altered" mileage Title unless covered under the exemptions from the Federal Truth in Mileage Act. If I were to make an offer for a vehicle with an "altered" mileage it would be assuming high mileage (20-30k/year) regardless of the actual mileage.

Quit driving it. Glad I could help! :-D

Drive it in reverse and then you can get negative mileage.

The ONLY reason to do this is to cheat the system.

Most of us around here take our integrity pretty seriously, I doubt you will get the answer, must less the response, you are looking for.

You claim to be looking to earn an A+ by figuring out how to defeat an electronic odometer? What utter BS.

He's a troll. An amateur troll, that is.

Oh this is easy, and as far as I know completely legal. I'll give you the step by step instructions:

  1. Install a tow bar on the front of the Jeep.

  1. Tow it behind a suitable vehicle.

Your drive train will experience every mile it is towed and not one inch will show on the odometer.

Glad to be of assistance. :-)

Sooo, what class would that be? Undergraduate studies at the Midnight Auto Supply University?

You could always look in the factory service manual--or ask the neighborhood mileage scam artist.

Just take a crow bar and smash the odometer. Pretty simple, huh?

Are you trying to avoid racking up a lot of miles on it or are you just trying to make the lights go out that illuminate the miles? You could just disconnect the cable on the transfer case and lose your speedometer while you're at it...if fraud is your thing that is.

Remember, information is free...what you do with it makes you the criminal.

the miles are still recorded in the other computers and still can be read using a scan tool and jeep does this after the vehicle is turned in from lease

excuse me for asking !!i thought this was a place of information..not that i have to explain myself ...but like i said it was for a project i am working on so screw all the people that flamed me. i think that really sucks that automatically you assume the worst..what loosers

Can I have some cheese with that whine.

Everybody told you how to do it, using different techniques. Then you have the gall to come back and say you didn't like the suggestions. Perhaps you have a legitimate reason to do what you are asking or perhaps you are a troll. But with the information you gave it looks more like a troll than anything else.

Dean (how bout this idea. Take the instrument cluster apart and put a piece of tape over the odometer.)

You misspelled losers. heh heh Amateur troll. *plonk*

It's "losers", you idiot.

There is no viable project to be done by disabling the odometer on a motor vehicle, except to defraud somebody along the chain of ownership.

Talk about losers!
