advice on a broken odometer
Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how to fix my broken odometer? It broke a few years ago and it stopped working just after I pushed the button to reset the trip counter. The odometer and trip counter never worked again after pushing the button that day. I see now when I push the button some slight motion behind the numbers like it's trying to engage, but nothing happens. The button pushes in and pops back like normal, but that's it. Thanks!

What year do you have if its a 94-98 like I do then its two gears that are inside the odometer that broke, only way to be sure is to open it and look at gears. Apparently Ford made the gears out of plastic that deteriorates with age. If you purchase a used gauge cluster it will most likely happen again. The only solution is to buy the gears which this person sells http://www.speedometergears.com/ . I posted this issue a while back https://mustangboards.com/general-te...light=odometer

YUP, it's a 98 and the speedometer does work fine. Thanks. Next question, is it difficult to take apart?

It is not dificult if you are somewhat handy and have a screwdriver,torx or allen keys cant remember right now but its simple and straight forward. I would get new gauge face like reverseglow or white face plus a bezel since you have to take it apart anyway.

What are you, a salesman for Mustang tunning? Good Idea, I'm pretty handy with hand tools, just keep me away from power tools.

I wish but Mods dont get paid squat for helping around here. It just makes sense for you to do that since you will have to take the gauge cluster apart. I just noticed you are the member with the sea spray paint job, hows everything going with it.
