Performed · outcome unconfirmed
The battery is supposed to be disconnected before working on the switch/system or electronics can be screwed up.
Leading evidence: 'Disconnect before working' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust dial counter clockwise while driving' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Switch off the key and remove it and then reconnect the battery.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I replaced my ignition switch and now see this at the bottom part of the speedometer:
-------> mph
What gives?
It no longer shows me oil level and time.
Wiring or oops a short the wrong way while the bad switch was in there.
Maybe try the method for changing between mph and kilometer readings to see if it snaps out of it. That's all I can think of beside wiring is wrong or worse.
Maybe a contact isn't being made although I'm sure you made sure everything was secured correctly.
I was changing my speedo and odometer back and forth from miles to KPH today twisting the clock adjusting dial counter clockwise while driving today. Took a while to figure out it was twist to the left since I didn't memorize the procedure.
If you have a durametric now would be a good time to test for errors. I have heard of shorting while the switch is goofy causing problems like ruining things. The battery is supposed to be disconnected before working on the switch/system or electronics can be screwed up.
It is showing the setting for the speed warning chime (i.e. it makes noise at you when you exceed the speed). I assume that you do not have a stalk for the OBC, which is normally what you would do to toggle to that screen. Somehow you have started to cycle through the different reading from the OBC.
I did the "hack" to mine (it was easy) and can cycle through to that screen, but have not idea what you would do to change what you have without a switch or the stalk.
Try this: Turn the key off and remove the key from the ignition.
Disconnect the battery (follow proper procedures and note the radio code!) then with the battery disconnected turn the key to on. Do not turn the key to engine start.
Or press on the brake pedal, or turn on the headlight.
Switch off the key and remove it and then reconnect the battery. You'll have to reset the window limits. IIRC lower each window completely. Then release the lower button and press it again.
If the car equipped with E-Gas turn the key to on but do not start the engine. Do not touch the gas pedal. Leave the key on for 60 seconds. Then turn the key off for at least 10 seconds.
(If you have the owners manual these bits of info should be in the manual somewhere.)
Sincerely,
Macster.
