Never had this with "just" the trip, but I have freed up my odometer before by resetting the trip a few times and the maint reminder...of course this was on my 95...same gen but might be a bit different.

Sorry, tried.....does this year still have the "key insert" to reset the maint reminder? Last, reset the trip while driving???? be careful doing this.

Thanks Poorman212...I tried the maintenance key slot thing but I will try your other idea also and see if that works. ;-)

peace out,

Ok, haven't gone out on a limb lately (today)........pull the trip reset-could it be stuck in preventing the "roll"?

TexasHonda posted on this before. He suggested that maybe WD-40 could get the gears to free up the gears. You would have to pull the gauge cluster, but it may be worth a shot.
