Trip odometer keeps reseting I know it's not that big of a deal but my trip odometer keeps resetting if I don't start the car everyday. Has anyone else had this problem? Where should I start?

I have the same problem with my 99. a new battery helped for a little while but it always comes back. seems to be an issue with 99's more than anything else. my trip odometer resets and my gauges do a full sweep on start up too. Do yours?

I had the exact same problem. Check the terminals on the battery to make sure they are plenty snug and the bolts aren't stipped out or anything like that. I replaced the cable that wouldn't tighten all the way and sure enough it solved it

It's a known issue in all 99s, there's a TSB for it. I experienced the whole gauge sweep and odo resetting nearly everyday during the summer, even after a new battery... but now that it has gotten colder, it doesn't do it at all for some reason. Whatever... I've decided to deal with it anyway, not worth the $200 to me to get it replaced at the dealer.
