ok so when i bought the car a while back the odo never worked but clicked. in NJ you will fail inspection for a non working odo, so i forced it to spin foward some and in turn broke it. i was fine with that, but then the spedo stopped working too. cruise works. so i was at the local yard and found a cluster with about the right mileage for the car so i bought it and installed it. se white 89-91 guages in my 90gxe is a plus, and its nice to have a spedo again. i reset the trip when i installed it and drove the car and everything worked. my girl uses the car too and she felt like resetting the trip to measure to a friends and then it didnt work at all. im trying to figure out if it is something in the car killing it and then if this spedo will die too. and everything but odo works right now cruise too.

Your trip odometer is probably just stuck, happens to mine sometimes, just try pressing the reset button in a few more times.

Unless your saying that your overall odometer is broken too?

Cruise control works, so your ECU knows what speed you're doing, the fault is somewhere after the ECU, between the ECU and the cluster.

Maybe you just bought another bad cluster.
Check your connections on both ends (ECU, and back of cluster), and check the connections to make sure theyre clean.
EDIT: Have a good check back there while you have it out for anything that might give grounding a hard time, and while you have the cluster out, it wouldnt hurt to pull that to pieces, check and clean it, and re-assemble it.

The plastic parts in the odometer are probably brittle from age. NEVER reset an odo while the car is in motion.

Replacing the odo is fairly simple...and changing mileage is easy too (the wheels just separate and squeeze back together). Most of your time will be spent getting access to it.

well she tells me the car wasn't moving when she reset it, but cant be too sure of that
