Does Odometer turn when flat towing a Chev Spark?
We will be flat towing a Chev Spark, manual transmission. The key must be left turned on for the steering wheel to be unlocked. Does the odometer still turn?

If the IGNITION is on, chances are the odometer will register the miles towed.
If the switch is in the OFF, NOT LOCKED position (if it has such a position, some newer cars don't) the odometer probably will not register the miles towed.
If the switch has to be in the ACCESSORY (ACC) position, the odometer probably will not register the miles towed.
If it has a mechanical speedometer/odometer, the miles will register regardless of switch position. It is VERY unlikely that it has a mechanical speedometer. Nearly ALL vehicles today have an electronic one.
