Default Bad night...

My wife took the 99 to Safeway to pick up dinner and came out to a dead battery. Anyway, a nice employee gave her a jump start and she made it home. Now the odo reads all zeros WTH
I ran down to AutoZone for a new battery and the car starts just fine now. The odo still reads zeros.

Has anyone seen this before? I'm very worried because the car only has 19,xxx miles on it. There weren’t any codes after the new battery was installed.

Thanks,

Tom

Ok, it corrected itself. It now displays the actual mileage.

I see your point.

My fear was the thought of taking it to the dealership so they could report the "fact" that the ODO was inacurate to Carfax. That would ruin the resale value.

Actually, I'm considering getting rid of it for a Navy vert or a glass top
