1985 245, everything on the instrument cluster works fine - except the
button you push to reset the trip meter. It is square, and seems to be
dislodged somewhat. I don't want to break it, but it feels like it is
either lifted up vertically too much, or slipped off track. I can't
pull it back nor push it in at all.
Any hints or tricks for this without pulling the cluster?
Thanks,
Jamie

Pulling the cluster only takes a few minutes, it's where I'd start.

You'll probably need to do that.
The button is connecting to the reset mechanism with quite thin
piece of plastic. That's could be broken.
Liberal use of epoxy glue and loosening the spring there helped me. I
also removed some obstacles from the cluster side so I could add more
epoxy. ;)

Thanks guys. I'll pull the cluster and see what's what.
