milage

I replaced my gauge cluster last night so I can get indiglo gauges. but the cluster I got has less miles than my car actually has. Is there a way I can get the milage calibrated so it reads the correct milage? I called the dealer and they said they won't do it because it wasn't a malfunction.

jwalker87 is an unknown quantity at this point
i havent done it myself, but I hear that the ECU is what really keeps the mileage, and so if you replace the cluster and it doesnt match the mileage on the ECU, then the ECU will reset it, displaying the correct mileage. In other words, once you install it, it will read the right mileage for your car. Of course, if you've already installed it before posting this, then everything I've said is complete bullshit.

the guy that told me that says there might be a place that would have it done for me but it'll cost hundreds of dollars. He didn't even tell me the place before he hung up on me.

try a different honda dealer, or go in person, dont go ove the phone bc thats what they can do to u, hang up, if u go in person and u get the same attitude then off to the service dept mgr. my case was like this, i went to put those white face guages on and took the needles off and then they didnt line up right, so i took it down to dealer and the service lady looked at me and told me it had to do with my TACH. i looked at her told her flat out that it has nothing to do with the aftermarket tach bc its not even attached to the cluster, she just walked away, so i got real pissed off and went to the mgr of the sevice area and told him that got him to come out and try some stuff, so all in all he ordered me a new cluster, then had it sent to have the mileage put on it, all under warranty so i dont know how much it would have cost out of pocket, but i do know this that dumb lady aint allowed to touch my car ask me a question or anything, if shes the only tech available i wait for someone else, bc if im smarter than her she dont need to be driving my car through the garage.
