Was getting a new starter/alarm system put in- have to go back tomorrow 'cause he didn't have a part....sucks....anyway, when I started out for home, I noticed the following:
-odometer stuck, not moving
-speedometer stuck, not moving
-seatbelt indicator light keeps flashing on (as if to say there was somebody not wearing them, but my daughter and I had both of them on)....
I gotta assume this was done while it was in getting worked on. I have to go back anyway, so I called the guy. When I told him the gauges were stuck, he said he didn't think he did anything to them. I said YEP, YOU DID...obviously. Everything worked fine when I took it in (I keep mileage for one of the hospitals I travel to for work, so I know that for a fact)...
He had to mess with the wiring a bit since the old starter was burnt out.
Can anybody help me out with what might be going on? I want to have a bit of knowledge about it for tomorrow when I take it back in. I'm assuming something isn't plugged in right and I WILL make sure that it's done right before I leave tomorrow.
Thanks!

 

heck if i know but id let that place figure that out..lol

 

think of it this way, free mileage!

 

Anybody have any serious suggestions for this? Just in case the guy doing it isn't sure what's up, maybe I can check it out when he's working with it?

 

The speedometer/odo is driven by an electric motor so it would be easy for an unplugged connector to cause that. The wiring for the speedo/odo and the seat belt indicator are in a common connector on the back of the instrument cluster. Also check fuses 11 and 26 in the dash box.

 

Thanks!
Everything seems to be working ok now!
