[diesel_mercedes] Odometer problems

 

Hello all,

I purchased a 1983 MB 300 turbo diesel about a week ago. The car had 194,900 miles on it when I bought it. As I was driving the car the odometer stopped working when it hit 195,000 miles (precisely). Both the odometer and the trip odometer. I can push the reset button on the trip odometer and it will work for about a mile or so, as does the odometer. In a 42 mile commute I racked up about 10 miles by doing this.

One thing that I did that may have an impact was I was trying to adjust the dash lights (same knob) and may have turned it too far. The knob did pop off in my hand as well as the spring, but I just had to press it back on. May be unrelated since it went 50 miles after that before stopping to work.

Any ideas of what is happening and if I can fix it?

Thanks
