Dinghy Odometer Reading - revisit - snowbirdtogo - 06-08-2005 09:05 This past week I towed our 1990 Acura Legend down to Myrtle Beach SC and back. I left the ignition key in position I (accessory)on way down, odmeter still worked (443 miles), and position II(on)on way home which also had the odometer working (446 miles). I didn't think the Acura had a speedometer cable but maybe it does or I have to disconnect some fuse to temporarilly disable the odometer. Any more suggestions.

Just checked with Edythe and she said that she puts the key in a slot on the console next to the shifter and moves the shifter from park to neutral; Then takes the key out and puts it in the ignition and turns it to the first click. Hers was a '92 Accord but those Hondas are all about the same. Something to check anyway....

My wife's 1990 Acura was the last year for the first body style and they made a lot of changes in 1991, hope the key slot isn't one of them. I checked car and it does have the slot which does let me position the ignition key in lock position without locking steering wheel, but with a speedometer cable it might not matter. I suspect the 1991 on Acuras have electronic speed sensors instead of a cable. Hope springs eternal and I will give it a try when my daughter and I shove off for summer long trip. Thanks for response.
