Hey guys, I hope I posted this in the right place, but I'm looking for some help with my 95 VX hatch. I just bought it about a week ago and I've since maybe put about 120 miles on the car. I didn't catch it when I test drove it, but the odometer/trip has started intermittently working. Sometimes it will work for 40 miles, others the trip won't go past a couple miles.
I've searched a bit and it seems like people most commonly have issues with the speedo not functioning, but my speedo/tach work perfectly fine, never have issues with those.
I plan on replacing the VSS, although I suspect that won't fix the problem. I was wondering if you have any ideas to get my odometer/trip working properly without having to replace them, maybe there is someone reputable who knows how to fix the issue? Or would the VSS actually have a shot at fixing it? I've seen the thread about taking the cluster out and just re-heating the solder on the circuit board to sort of re-do cracked solders. I'm not against doing that, but I'd rather use that as a last resort.
Thanks!
