Sometimes the spring doesn't return the cogs together, you may have just needed to gently pull the reset rod out a fraction to re-engage the cogs.

tried that and then after a few goes then i started using forse and hit the fucker lots still doesnt work lol

also with the taco dashes do you need the circuit behind them or can i pull one apart and trasport the parts into a non tacho dash??

The guts of the speedo head should be interchangeable.

all the printed circuts in the dashes are the same...

eg, they are all set up to run a tach, or a clock or with a vac line they can run an economy guage. all interchangeable.

2 places to chesk for odometer not operating: white screw drive and cog (both plastic)

and also on the small metal bar that turns the numbers, if the cast cog slips on that then its fucked
