[s-cars] Odometer just stopped working

[Theodore Chen]

 blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; }  Thanks, found it on eBay from some guy 3D printing them in Hungary.  Now I have to figure out whether 15 tooth is the right one. I don't want to open up the odometer to find out and then wait three weeks until the parts show up, but I also don't want to do the removal twice.  Decisions, decisions. :)
Seems strange that they take an electronic signal and then use it to drive a mechanical display device.  I'm sure it made perfect sense in 1992.

the odometer.  Mechanical odometer in the case of the UrS4 and 95 UrS6.  Inside there there is a little gear:

This is how fixing it was described by Huw Powell:

Good luck.

Now we know why it is suggested to only reset the odometer while the car is stopped.
