I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to get at the odometer to reset it on a 92 GT? I reset the one in my 87, but that had screws that held the gauge faces on (fuel gauge and... water temp? don't remember, the ones on the right), the 92 cluster looks like the gauge faces are glued or melted in place. Has anyone reset the odometer on a 90+ Mustang or know how to get at it?

 

definitely not legal to touch the odometer

if the TRIP odometer is not working, its because the cable/gearing is probably wrong

 

+1 on the Extremely Illegal to mess with an odometer

 

when you get to 100,000 miles it will reset all by itself

 

Try running a hair dryer around the seam to loosen the glue around the clear part. Be careful not to melt anything though.

 

+1 to both of the above. Not only is is highly illegal, but its a piece of **** thing to do. How would anyone here feel if they bought a car thinknig it had X number of miles when in fact it has 10k - 20k more? I can't think of one good reason to ever touch it.

 

Are you sure that's all you have to do? (before I **** anything up)

And actually it's perfectly legal to do, as long as you write the actual miles on the back of cluster, where I come from anyway. It's a canadian cluster as well, so it won't reset until it hits a million km. I'm doing it because the car has been completely restored, all rust fixed, everything re-built, or replaced.

Besides that, if I were ever to sell the car, I'm not the kind of guy to tell the buyer "ya, it only has 10,000km on it" and at that, i'd easily be caught, and get in a lot of **** if i got caught. The car was in a major accident at 220,000km, and hasn't been driven since, so carfax would give it away that i'd be lieing.

Ok, in the 87 you can see it has screws holding the right side gauges in, and in the 92, those are absent. In the 92 those are just pins that hammer out?
