Turn Button Clockwise?? Turn what button Clockwise? You can't turn any of the buttons clockwise...

Make sure you're using the reset button next to the speedo/rev counter not the reset button on the wiper stalk. This reset button can be turned clockwise and you'll feel it click as per the instructions elsewhere in this thread.

Hi guys it's a great tip but can anyone tell why I can't turn the trip reset button on dashboard?

I got the flashing zeros once but that's all I managed and the check engine indicator is still on so I geuss it didn't work.

Please help
