Word of Thanks and Odometer Repairs

First, I'd like thank the people who responded to my message last week about the rough idle and loss of power on my 93 Maxima. Your suggestions about cleaning the throttle body were right on target. Having cleaning it, the car is running smooth and strong. I really appreciate the help.

Unfortunately, the odometer has now stopped working. It moves occasionally, but not very often. Generally, all we hear is a steady click, click, click which lasts a while and then may stop. The steady clicking noise is really annoying, plus I'd really like a functioning odometer to know when to do oil changes and tire rotations. Everything else on the cluster works fine including the speedo and all gauges. Therefore, if possible, I'd like to do a simple repair or lubrication of the odometer rather than replace the whole cluster.

Does anyone know what the problem might be. Also, can I get access to make a repair or adjustment without taking apart anything major. I tried to reach up under the instrument cluster but really couldn't tell anything. I've also done a search of the discussion forums for odometer repair threads, but have not found anything that really relates to this specific type of problem.

I'd appreciate any help or insight. Thanks.

I have somewhat the same problem, except that my speedo and odometer (when it works) both run about 6% high. I had planned to fix just the odometer until I checked the speedometer on the highway today.

Found this link a while ago - might be of some help:

If you do this, let me know how it works. Good luck.
