My DL 1990 240 speed meter works fine but the odometer quit working. Is the a fix for this like replacing a resistor or something? The car is just under 200K and I'm trying to keep the mileage showing. Thanks

When the odo quits, the usual cause is a broken gear. This page from Dave Shannon's site may help:

This may also help, if you're sure it's a gear.

It's only a gear in '85 and older 240's, the later cars all have electronic speedos. The fault is usually a bad solder connection.
Been busy lately, so just now checking the group. Yes, the later cars are electronic(I have an '88 240), and yes, it could be a bad connection, but electronic units(non-digital) are simply powered electronically, they still have the gear that can go bad.
