How to Troubleshoot My Honeywell Hobbs Hour Meter
The Honeywell Hobbs hour meter is a display installed in a vehicle, and records the running time of that particular vehicle. This is a useful tool that gives you an idea of when the vehicle is due for maintenance. However, if you think your hour meter isn't functioning properly, there are a few quick ways to troubleshoot the unit to get it functioning again.

Check the hour meter's display. If the hour meter changes over, but the timing isn't accurate, it is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the time isn't changing at all, it may be a connection problem.
