Odometer gear replacement didn't work, help

[dmoyers]

I pulled my instrument cluster and replaced two gears in my odometer (E1 and E2). Both clearly had broken teeth and needed replaced. When I was reinstalling the wiring to the back of the cluster, I replaced the blue, green and white clips, but there was a smaller pair of wires that had a connector that went into one of four outlet possibilities. I put it in the top opening, but alas, after replacing everything, the odometer still isn't working. I made sure the gears were able to spin and were moving the numbers on the odometer prior to re-installing, but as I said it didn't work. I am wondering if that smaller pair of wires should have gone into one of the other openings. Anyone have a clue if this could be my problem or should I try something else?

only 1 wire goes the the speedometer.

it goes the top location iirc.

the other wire is a light, and it goes to the low gas light hole.

I have the same problem.....I'm going to yank it out and make sure there isn't any debris in the gears/motor.....I read some directions that say to spray compressed air in there to remove any debris.

Thanks, I am going to replace the third gear, hope that will do it.

Anyone have apic of what plug goes where on the back of the cluster? I replaced my gears, and it still doesn't work. Not sure if i put all the plugs back right............or at all. Lol

I think I had the two, large gears backwards. I have yet to install it, but I'm positive that it works now.
