Not sure this will work but, here's what I would do if it is digital; open the dash, find the wires that lead to it, unplug it, spray with electronic contact spray, plug and unplug 4 or 5 times and spray again for good luck! Worked on '92 olds!!! Will cost about $5.00 for spray and it works great on any electronics, where connections get bad because of smoke, dust etc. Good luck!!

Sounds like the cable is loose either at the back of the speedometer or at the transmission housing.

1996 ford ranger Odometer and Trip gauge don't work but Speedometer works. How can I fix this Thanks?

Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
