Author Message   Tsm81xtreme Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 05:14 pm:        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   X1_ Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 05:23 pm:        Check for rubbing wires   Pkforbes87 Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 09:48 pm:        I'd say it's the switch in the button since the problem is temporarily fixed every time you mess with the button..   Mmcustoms Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 09:57 pm:        my m2 did this it was the trip button on i've went throw two of them now   Purpony Posted on Tuesday, June 30, 2009 - 11:04 pm:        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.   Malott442 Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 12:06 am:        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.   Tsm81xtreme Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 10:21 am:        Thanks for all the info guys, keep it coming. Thanks, Matt Tully   Oldog Posted on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 11:48 am:        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
