Hmmm, come to think of it, the one I pulled was a manual trans (no shifter indicator).

Sounds like one of the connectors isn't plugged in all the way.

I am guessing it would be the smaller black connector shown in the center of the console (right behind the ODO) in the pic in post #16.

According to the manual fuse 8 (15A) should be for the "speedometer memory" and the dome lights, cargo lights, etc. I would assume you would have noticed that the dome light was out though.

So everything else in the cluster works, but the ODO doesn't?
