    Default Tripmeter FAIL - Odometer OK?

    Car - 86.

    motor - 4ag

    use - Dori

    problem - Odometer works, Trip-meter DOESN'T WORK

    occurs/started when - Dropped new engine in (had gbox out as well)

    personal situation - Do they use the same input on the dash? or do they take their readings from two different sensors? i.e. have i just not plugged something in properly? or is this some sort of heebe-jeebe thing happening lol.
    Trip meter just stays on 0000 whilst the odometer appears to be working normally.

    It's probably just broken at the same time you changed the engine.

    They are all driven off the speedo drive cable...
