Speedo Trip Reset Button
On m 08 Electra Glide my speedo trip reset button lately has not been working, a bummer when on a trip and I want to reset to check gas mileage is this mechanical or electrical and do U have to remove fairing? Its always been finicky, lately It just wont switch between the A&B Trip modes and mileage displays! Still under warranty but Id like to fix It if its not too involved! I Could get it done on my 10K Service! Mo Money!! LOL, Thanks Bill

Mine didnt work from day one, I could only read the odometer and could not switch between Trip A-B or miles to empty! Harley service replaced the rest button when I had the 1,000 mile inspection! It has worked fine ever since!

Odometer Trip Reset Button
I took some steps towards replacing the Ododmeter Reset Button, took off the fairing and looked at it and the wayit ewas screwed into the inner fairing looks like a piece of cak, get a new one and plug it in!!
So I stripped one of the lower brass inserts Ill see about that later!?? I got the reset button from the dealer take it out of the package and there is no plug on the end that goes to the sppedo you have to cut and splice, oh no? Im a little squemish about as I say "The point of No Return" meaning if I replaced the ODO button and I was able to plug it in and It didint fix the problem then Id just plug back in the old one and let the dealer do it? Now if I cut and splice there is no going back if it doent fix the reset problem the dealer would say its my fault? help? thanks Bill

Take to dealer. No sense in messing with this problem. Be much easier on you and will not void your warranty
