ODOMETER - TRIP RESET MALFUNCTION
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1983 MARQUIS
If difficulty in properly resetting the trip odometer is encountered it may be caused by a misalignment of the odometer reset shaft with the cluster inner
lens opening, causing a binding condition. The bind prevents the shaft from fully returning after being pushed to reset and preventing the odometer
pinion gear from engaging. Without proper pinion gear engagement, all of the numerals roll simultaneously.
If trip odometer complaint vehicles are encountered, verify if the reset shaft is rubbing against the inner lens and, if so, the following procedure should be
followed.
1.
Remove appropriate appliques for access to instrument cluster.
2.
Remove instrument cluster lens and mask assembly.
