Odometer Issue-Miles randomly jumped?
Hi All,
Fairly new Crossfire owner and fairly new to the forum. Hoping for some help regarding my 2004 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe Ltd. I would say what the miles are but that is why I'm starting this thread.
What I know: When I purchased the car and got its first oil change post ownership, odometer read miles of 67xxx, after experiencing issues with and ultimately replacing powertrain control module, along with other non-electrical repairs, mileage now reads 107xxx. Instrument panel backlight flickers and partially goes out when headlights are engaged.
Can anyone explain to me why my miles have seemingly changed? The instrument panel is in mph and has the word "miles" under the odometer but the temperature appears Celsius. Is it possible the car dual reads and that "mileage" is actually "kilometers"? 107,000 km is roughly 67000 miles. If the car can bet toggled between miles and km, can anyone explain how to get back to miles?
If the above can't be done, can anyone explain what may have happened to my odometer? Could the previous owner have attempted to roll it back? Do odometers fail?
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
