Those were made for monitoring milage, rental cars, fleet, or a helicopter parent :)

Oops should have turned it over with the light on.
Anyone know what part goes inside.

Yours seems intact. That finger would assume to be turned by the axle nut, typical mechanism. Don't know what vehicle your part would fit.

Here's a T version of the OHMER, that shows the insides. Cap fits the T hub threads, replaces a front hub cap.

Spring loaded two part claw fits into front axle castle nut, and the device measures the complete turn of the wheel. Simple.

I use mine to let me know when I should be looking for gas. :-)
