LCD display on the fritz

November 18, 2008 7:00 AM

The digital odometer on my 2000 Honda Accord is not displaying numbers fully. Any way to fix this?

I have a 2000 Honda Accord LX. Last year, I began noticing that the numbers on the digital odometer were not fully displaying. Meaning, the numbers would look scrambled. Only when I push on the dash do the numbers on the odometer display correctly.

Anyone have any experience with getting the LCD display on a digital odometer fixed? Do any repair shops even conduct such repairs? If so, how much can I expect to pay?

Best answer: The "push the dash [..] the numbers [..] display correctly" means that there is simply a bad contact between the LCD and the board it is mounted on. I am sure any reputable Honda dealer push a replacement $500+2 hours install rate cluster on you, but really you could probably have someone electronically minded repair it much cheaper (clean the contacts).
