Default Trip Meter Re-Set Button

This is probably a stupid question, butif I press the re-set button on the trip meteronthe console will it zero my mileage and not be retrievable?I've never had the guts to press it for fear of losing the total miles on the odometer.

Thanks in advance.

Reset only zeros out the trip meters, not the main odometer.

It will only reset the trip meter.

this is an april fools joke thread right?



of course it does not clear ALL your mileage .... just your TRIP - hense the name TRIP RESET


depending on the year (i have 3 settings) ... you have your main mileage which can not be reset - and a trip which you reset on fill ups etc... I have another on mine so i can do trip total mileage and tank reset mileage

push and hold it to reset on the TRIP one and it only goes to 0

fear not!

Smitty0128...Nope, not an AF joke, just one of those stupid questions people ask from time to time. What's even funnier, I don't think I ever touched the re-set button on my '93 FLHTP for the exact same reason.

Thanks for the information.

I'm speechless. But someone else is probably thinking the same as you.

...., it will also re-fill your tank, change the oil, clean the mirrors, re-tread the tires and get you a blond/blue eyed virgin.

If I don't want a blonde, (the air head issue) will pressing it twice get me a brunette?
Someone please tell me it is so!
