1999 Buick Century-No Odometer?

Sep 12, 2007 5 Replies

I recently bought a nice used 99 Buick Century and it is great execpt for 1 thing..the odometer is not lit so I don't know the mileage. Does anyone have an idea on what to even check first? I checked the fuses but there isn't one for just the odometer Any help would cetainly be appreciated! TIA Jordan



If its the kind that has the roll over numbers, the odometer I think is controled by a tiny motor in the gauge cluster.

Good Luck

I'm not for sure on that one. Buick also had some that were nonmechanical, having only a digital display. IIUC, the odometer function was part of the computer, only having the display on the dash.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it is (was) a digital odometer....by the way, the check engine light is on and comes up with

1308 Manufacturers Transmission whatever that means, Jay

Check for disconnected wire around the transmission. It probably has a wire from trans that plugs into a socket sending signals to odometer. Does the speedo work (show up)? HTH, sam

Hi, the speedo does indeed work (analog) and checked for loose/ disconnected wires and everything looks OK...anything else to check for? TIA Jay
