VDO Speedo Reset
Help again...I had new gauges installed in my '55 F100 and the speedo has never worked right. The guy who installed them said he'd send me the manual, but never did (he's in Va and I'm in Oregon). Anyway, when I fire it up, the speedo cycles from zero to max and then back to zero. Anybody out there have any ideas?? Sure would like to know how fast I'm going before one of our friendly local law enforcement officers do it for me. Thanks/Bob.

Go to the beginning of a known two mile distance and stop. Press and release the trip/reset button. The pointer will move to half scale and is ready for calibration.
Drive the two mile distance and stop. press and release the trip/reset button. The calibration mode will be exited and the pointer will return to zero mph
Note: The accuracy of the speedometer depends on the accuracy of the measured two mile distance.
If you have a different brand, contact the manufacturer and I,m sure they would e-mail you instructions.
I hope this helps
