2001 Town & Country batterys bad/speedometer got stuck behind 0

My 2001 Chrysler Town & Country had not been starting/running well and i didn't know what it was for about a week. I was running the car this way when we noticed the speedometer needle was stuck behind the pin on zero. We replaced the battery and the car starts and runs fine now but the pin in still stuck. How do you fix this?

    Thank you for your prompt response, but as we were driving on the interstate keeping up with traffic (probably about 80 mph) the needle just jumped into place!!!!

A scanner that gets into the instrument cluster computer can reset the needles. or take the dash apart and manually turn dash cluster upsidedown, then the needles will move so rotate untill the needles are reset.

SOURCE: speedometer needle is behind pin, in a 2001

This is an ez repair. Remove the trim around the dash of the speedometer. Unscrew and remove the plastic cover over the speedometer itself. Move the needle to it's correct position. Should take less than half an hour.

Turn signals on 2001 Chrysler Town & Country cause dash lights to come on and speedometer & odometer quit working

I would say its probably a short or a ground problem at the turn switch or a wire in that area. you need a test light and probably a multi meater and some nohow a ground or wireing problem can even drive a master teck crasy.

I have a 2001 town & country 3.8l lxi and the speedometer goes crazy jumping from 0 -120 and then back again. When this happens the car starts jumping if you try to drive it. I changed both sensors...

The PCM does not calculate the speedometer the TCM does.Most of the time if is not a bad output speed sensor it is the connector.You can purchase a replcement connector from the dealer or a local transmission supply house.Also you must have the correct tire size(Pinion factor) programmed into your TCM and this will need to be done with a professional scan tool.

2001 chrysler town and country. need to reset speedometer. the speedometer is stuck on the back side of the resting pin. we have reset it before but forgot how to do it now.

Hold down the black plastic TRIP METER RESET switch for 10 sec and ti will go into diagnostic mode. I did this and its cool. Do it with the van turned off!

2003 chrysler town & country speedometer stuck

sit in the drivers seat close the door. with the key off hold the trip odometer button in then while holding the button in turn the key on. if done correctly this will put the MIC (mechanical instrument cluster) into a self test. if the speedometer does not move like the rest of the gauges during this test the MIC must be replaced. if the speedometer does move it is likely your problem will be fixed, however, if the speedometer does move but it does not start working properly then further diagnostic will be needed.

Battery runs down

Pull any fuses marked stereo/radio and see if that helps. If insurance is involved, take it where new stereo getting installed & have them do it for you if your stumped.
