Hi All,

My '93 960 odometer stopped working recently, at 122k, after I reset the trip odo. Trip reset has been notchy for a few years, but always worked. Now both trip and regular odometer are out, while the speedometer is fine. First question is removal of the instrument cluster so I can take a look at the gears, etc. In my varius 740's, this is simple, with just two screws hiden under those plastic caps, and then pull the cluster straight out. The 960's fancier dash has what looks like a one piece plastic trim panel that covers everything above the wood strip (with the switches). I suspect that there are retainers somewhere, but I don't want to risk breaking the plastic by prying where I shouldn't. Possibly the wood trim comes off first to expose fasteners for the upper panel? Anyone have the right steps to get the instrument cluster out?

Once I have it out, is there a common problem with the plastic gears, etc? This is the first Volvo speedo / odo that I have had a problem with, and four have hit between 210 and 260k, but this is newer and may not be as durable? Assuming it needs to go out for repair, are there any recommended shops to send it to?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
