Hi,
Does anyone have a good link with instructions on how to take apart my 2001 CR-V meters dash?
My odometer had been acting up every once in a while on the last 3 months, where it would "get stuck", and then I would play with the trip meter and it would start working again, but less than 2 weeks ago it died, once and for all, as it was reaching the 149000 miles (it's in transition between that and 148999).
I don't know where to find a replacement odometer, and googling it didn't get me anywhere, but I was thinking to trying to spray some compressed air, in there first, to see if it's not stuck because of dust/dirt. Is that even possible?

Any suggestions are very much welcome!

TIA!

I don't have a link on removing it but I can explain as I've done this before on my old CR-V.

Step 1. Remove the 2 screws holding the black shroud around the cluster. You will need to tug on it a bit as a couple clips also holds it in. Part being referred to is #13 in this pic.

Next, remove the 4 screws that hold the cluster into the dash. 2 on top, 2 on the bottom. The top 2 are different from the bottom ones. Keep that in mind when reinstalling. Don't let this link scare you. Honda shows everything being seperate as that's the way they sell the items but the screws are #26 and 27.

Now that those are removed, wiggle the cluster out as much as you can. Now reach behind it as there is 2 or 3 connectors holding it in. Press on the bump on the middle of the plugs and wiggle them out from the cluster. Once they are removed, finish plugging the cluster from the dash.

Your done. Celebrate and have a beer.

Check eBay, local junk yards and you may find someone partin out a "V" on craigslist. When searching CL, try both CRV and CR-V and click on title as you will get different results. We actually own CR-V but many are lazy and list it as a CRV.

Thank you very much for the replies!

So I am going to waste my time on trying to spray some compressed air on it? I just feel that it's odd that only the odometer/trip stopped, nothing else.
I did check all around and there aren't any fuses that are specific for it, but is there anything else I need to check to make sure it's not some electric issue instead?

Thanks again!
