Speedometer stopped working on 2002 T&C

    My battery died and when I got it started with a jump I noticed the
    speedometer needle went crazy and circled clockwise and now stopped
    working. Must have shorted it out I think? All other panel gages and
    indicators are working so I don't think its a fuse. Anyone know what
    this will likely run me when I bring it in for repair?

    Thanks,
    Luke

    Luke - Hopefully it will work like the LH cars of the same time period
    when that happens. From the 2nd gen LH car FSM:
    "A self-test of the cluster can also be initiated by pressing and
    holding the odometer reset button and switching the ignition from lock
    to unlock. The cluster will then step through several displays for
    functional verification."

    You have to hold the odo reset button for about 3 seconds - release when
    the needle dance starts. The synchro-motor speedometer needle will be
    forced against the zero peg and will flop back into synchronization.
    Cost: $zero.zero
