TIP: Broken Odometers

Post by liljoe »

I have ran into this a couple times and not sure if there is a worka round or not. Have a 1999 Chevy PU in here and the odo does not light up, on the milage field can I set the program to let me type "broken" in the field? I also have a couple that the odo just stays on the same milage all the time.....

We use 888,888 here. We also note it on the RO.

I get chicken typing in letters. I USE to enter NONE as a plate number if there was no plate. That worked until I entered NONE the second time! :lol:
