No it isnt - its a 1 with some dirt LOL Zoom in Give it another wipe with WD40 etc, maybe the water spots will come off

The 10th digit of the VIN is a 1, meaning 2001 Why were we originally thinking it was 1996? -AKATV

Welcome to the forum cdyoder! Yep, concur 100% with what Jeep said above- My 2 cents is that it is/was probably full of water with that top cover being broken and corroded. I bet if you open it up it most likely looks like something that came off the Titanic,from water damages. Take the screws out of the backplate and pop the cover off and post a picture of what it looks like inside. I can source you parts to get you fixed up, if you are interested I will send my direct contact information to your message box -AKATV

Usually with your model (02 and up with selectable 2WD/4WD) ,if there is a 4x4 fault, the 4WD light will flash a few times as a code, indicating a fault area usually, it flashes 2 to 6 times Is it flashing at all?

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for posting pictures. It really helps to see what you have going on. Looks like you might have an extremely sun damaged LCD, but I can repair that if you need it The part that concerns me is there looks like a little bit of condensation residue inside the meter You might wanna pop that top cover off and make sure you don’t have water damages because that usually destroys the circuit card to the point of no repair The top cover looks pretty good though, so you might not have any water in there at all just want to make sure I will send my contact information to your message box right now -AKATV

Thanks for the pictures, it really does help a lot. Your fading is just standard aging and UV/Sun damage to the polarization films over 20+ years. It can be repaired though, and I have sent my contact information to your message box if you would like to look into a repair. -AKATV .

I wanted to let all members know that member @Fat Tire has a lead on on a couple NOS Honda Speedometers for the Foreman 450S footshift model 1998-01, absolutely brand new in the box, and one used one with under 300 miles in VGC If you have the "black screen of death" common to the 450S, or yours is water damaged and/or non-repairable etc.. and you have found that these are discontinued- I would quickly look him up, I expect they will not be around long If I get any requests, I will forward them to him as well. -AKATV

Late to the party-sorry lol I can repair your speedometer for you, Most likely, you have a bad speed sensor power output circuit I will send my contact information to your message box -AKATV

Hi Dave It could be one of two things, Your data might have been corrupted and switched over to KMPH, usually, though when this happens, your numbers become astronomically, high or low, or revert to all nines or zeros and sometimes you will lose the gear position indicator If it is corrupted, it can be reprogrammed to read properly OR- you could have a metric model speedometer I see them a lot in Canada, wasn’t sure if the UK used all metric on their speedometers as well, but that could also be the case -AKATV

Welcome to the forum! Post a picture or two with it powered up so we can see what’s going on, It helps if you can turn the headlights on so the display is illuminated In the meantime, I’ll send my contact information to your message box. -AKATV

Yes, it can be repaired but unfortunately you have to replace the whole LCD assembly The black spots on the foreman 450 S foot shift. LCDs were kind of a common failure I can repair it for you if you want, I would have to source the parts to replace the assembly -AKATV

Hi and welcome to the forum! I repair a lot of these, The first thing you want to start with looking at with that big crack on the back plate, is to take the top cover off and make sure you don’t have any water damages inside The next thing is you want to check for proper voltages at the circuit card You want to make sure that you have 12 V on the red/black wire and the brown/black wire with the key on -the red/black wire is constant power for your clock and CPU, the brown/black wire is your key on power for the CPU use the green wire for negative ground The speed signal is routed through the speedometer to the ECU and If the ECU does not get the proper speed signals, it will shut down shifting by design for safety I will send my contact information to your message box if you’d like to contact me for an evaluation or repair I recently helped evaluate one that was in the shop yesterday- was this yours by chance? -AKATV

Welcome to the forum! if you remove the top cover and take a few pictures on the little bit more about what you have going on Hard to tell if this point, it could range anything from a simple power issue all the way up to a completely destroyed circuit card from water damage I’ll send my contact information to your message box as well -AKATV
