Reverse Override and Odometer

[KICKER431]

So the question is, does holding down the reverse bypass also bypass the odometer sensor? I really don't know where the odometer/trip meter gathers it's data from. Any ideas?

I was plowing this last weekend with my newly wired reverse bypass via worklight switch. It is the first time I have ever used it. The speedometer was working but I noticed that the trip meter, which I had reset to 0 when I filled the tank, was staying on 0. The hour meter worked but it never logged any miles. Later it did move a little. I am not sure if it was because I flipped the switch turning the reverse override back on. I was done with the heavy snow and didn't need AWD in reverse any longer. Or perhaps it started working because the temperature had gotten above -10. Or perhaps it started working because I was no longer in 18" snow and ice was no longer obscuring the sensor.

I would like to know this too, since I have not installed the mod yet!

So I was out plowing today again just mulling things over whie going back and forth. It came to me suddenly. With the reverse override via the worklight switch, everytime I shifted into forward the machine thought I was still holding the yellow button down. Therefore it was reseting the trip meter. I changed the display to the hour meter and flipped the reverse override switch. When i was done, sure enough the trip meter showed how far I had gone plowing. So, if you want an accurate trip meter reading, don't have the trip meter displayed while the reverse override switch is flipped. The machine will think you are constantly re-zeroing the trip meter. Hope that helps.

PS my wife's (the '07) has reverse override done via a bunch of messy relays. It does not reset the trip meter. I wish hers was done via the simple worklight switch as it is much cleaner inside the pod. Unfortunately I don't know how they did it and I think I would have to replace the whole wiring harness to undo it. So I am leaving it alone.
