Odometer keeps track of milage, but tenth reset does not work, but makes a click every tenth of a mile. What other than a VDO is wrong with this and is there a fix?

    I have removed the speedometer and have had them repaired. I don't know anyone in Indiana that repairs these speedometers but I know there are many speedometer repair shops in California that repair VDO gauges. Palo Alto Speedometer Repair being one. Do a search on the internet for "speedometer repair".

    I had same problem in my 1990 300e. EASIEST FIX EVER! Hold down the reset knob while driving.. the number in the tenth will finally catch and start to move.. then release knob.
