I have a 01' X1 and on my last ride, the trip meter started acting up. It worked fine, then I filled up with gas, reset it, and took off. I was watching it and it would log say 3 miles, then poof, back to 0. It also wouldnt start reading again until I hit the button to go back to my odometer, then when I would go back to the trip and it would read again. Then it may go 7 or 10 miles, or maybe only 1/2 mile, then poof again. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here. Thanks for any help you can give, Matthew Tully | ||

Check for rubbing wires | ||

I'd say it's the switch in the button since the problem is temporarily fixed every time you mess with the button.. | ||

i am having the same issue. I just had all my gauges removed to install my custom dash i made and ever since then its doing that. I went back and tightened all the wires on the back of the gauges and then it worked fine for a while. Now its stuck on odometer and when pressing the button will not go to trip. | ||

Check battery voltage as well..... it will trip out when voltage gets just a little low. Loose battery wires will do it as well. Just trying to bring up the easiest fixes to check. | ||

tms the switch causes the change if there are issues check the wiring for chafing as stated above check the boot (button face) for damage the button is a common electronic item, the boot and housing protect it from the elements. odo & trip can also be effected by a blown instrument fuse (trip will not "remember") the display should operate on 5v or less so a weak battery is less likely an issue I have a custom dash and LOTS of wires stuffed in there, chafed wire or switch issue is my GUESS |
