tripometer resets itself every morning..

[jackywhite]

morning gurus..

As title states, tripometer resets itself almost every morning. If not sooner.

Its as if, it 'forgets' where it was and so goes back to the beginning. (I wish I did this, I'd never leave the house..)

Bloooooody annoying - but more importantly, a sign of a more underlying issue beginning to surface?

ANybody experienced this before?

TIA.

I would check the earth straps.

Start with the battery to body one. There are two from the gearbox to body, don't really see why it'd be one of those. There are then some wires under the dash that are screwed into the metal dash framework. You'd need to remove the dash top for those.
