2001 sonata speedometer

does anyone know how to take apart the dash? I need to replace the
speedometer/odometer assembly

thanks

 

There should be 2-3 phillips screws holding in the trim cover for the
cluster. After you have the trim off, there are four phillips screws
holding in the cluster.

 

Thanks, is it easy to remover the speedometer/odometer assembly? also, is
there a way to set the odometer to the original reading?

 

It's pretty easy. The mileage may be able to be burned in, but you'll have
to find a speedo repair shop to do it and you'll need the old speedo as
actual evidence of what the mileage was.

 

BURNED IN? This odo is of the mechanical nature, it's not digital

just wondering if anyone had any experience with replacement of the
spedo/odo assemblies and if it is a difficult task?

 

=============
Doron,

I replaced a bad tach, and it's very simple. The clear plastic cover
and the black plastic base both have push tabs that are used to assemble
them. You should have a helper, and push down on each of the tabs for
the black plastic base cover at the same time and pull it off. There
are a few screws on the rear (two for the tach) that you unscrew and the
unit lifts out the front of the case.

I thought 2001 had the digital odometers. I'm not sure anyone will touch a
used one to set it. The ones from the factory come set to 1 mile (I guess
they test them).
