I got a couple ?'s on a few issues

1. My odometer n my abs light keeps takin turns going on n off , any suggestions how to fix it
2. Drivers side heated seat takes forever to get warm
Last when i bought my expy in dec of 2011 it had 178,135 , its now 179 but im not sure when the last maintaince was done... so what would be the regular, normal services that should be done/ checked.....

when ever i buy a high mileasge used vehicle i assume nothing has been done. New hoses and fluids all the way around then go by the owners manuel recomendations. service records or not i never trust the last guy. I would say replace it all flush the rad and everythign else.

just my 2cents

I recently did this fix and my odometer has been working 100% of the time now. It previously would only work when it felt like it. Never had any issue with abs light.

i'm thinking the abs light is something diff but i don't know , hoping someone can help

the fix for the odometer I to had done and it fixed it for sure. The ABS light is probably from the ABS sensor that needs to be cleaned or replaced, or you have a bad connection to it.

Ok thanks skyjumper ...

try looking on top of rear diff.... the sensor might need to be disconnected and cleaned... or replaced... its like a $20..ish... part that can be replaced in 2-3 min.... that's what has caused my ABS light to come on last time
