'Clocking'! such a brutal term! Surely not. These companies will have you
believe that they make a living setting replacement odometers to read the
same as the originally fitted units.

You don't mention your proficiency with electronics etc, but why not get
a hair dryer and heat up the areas you think are problematic and see
when it starts working. Then use freezer spray to confirm your diagnosis.
Then you can at least track down exactly the area and potentially do the
repair yourself.
