Popped the cluster out and went to work on it tonight.The old gear was definitely the problem...<img src="https://i.imgur.com/2J6iEg7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After throwing the new gears in I tested the cluster to see if it works.Odometer worked perfectly, but the trip wasnt working.. weird...I took it back out and poked around and realized the bezel is from a New Edge and the reset button was too long and was pushing the clusters reset button down enough to act like I was just holding the button down all the time, so the gears for it could not engage to rotate the assembly.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/hPHObV9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lu7MMxi.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I got creative and decided to modify the clusters side of the reset button, as the bezel has a spring in it and wasnt sure how much of that I could trim before the spring just fell out of it. So I got to work.I removed the odometer assembly via 3 screws<img src="https://i.imgur.com/uYjdXtn.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I didn't want to use a dremel incase I cut too much, so I grabbed a BIC lighter and heated up a box cutter and cut enough plastic around the nipple to allow the base of the reset button to push in without hitting the blue plastic<img src="https://i.imgur.com/azmHnrL.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/2I1SSNJ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then I snipped off the nipple which is about the the same length that the newer bezel sticks out, so now when its all assembled the base of the button will rest on this, and not actively push it in.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/HV0Deup.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I threw the assembly back onto the cluster<img src="https://i.imgur.com/OoVwKkd.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And then test fit the bezel, and had to dissassemble again to remove a bit more blue plastic<img src="https://i.imgur.com/lBpjyMG.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And of course I trimmed a bit too much of the nipple off so I placed a small piece of 3m tape to space it back out a bit<img src="https://i.imgur.com/5wtbZCn.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Now I have a working trip and functional reset button!<img src="https://i.imgur.com/JddcAV2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/tzjwhQ9.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
