Answercheck speed censor AnswerIf your speedo and or cruise control still function, its not the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) It is likely the drive/worm gear on the odo. unfortunatly, it'll probly cost $50 (Fifty) dollars for the gear to replace it :) Try here, I'm in the process of repairing two of my clusters now. 95/92 SC's May as well get some nice white faces while your in there. http://www.odometergears.com/subpages/Ford.HTML http://www.instrumentclusters.com/odometer_gears.HTMLwhatever you do, DO NOT reset the trip while you are driving. that's probably what wore out the gears.
The gauge has failed.
If the speedometer breaks, it effects the odometer. Check the speedometer cable it may be broken, even under the insulation.
This happend on one of my cares. It was just a cable that needed to be changed under the hood. I am sure anyone at napa or autozone can help you out.
There is no fuse for the odometer. If it is mechanical and not working it most likely had a stripped or broken gear.
Our odometer/tripmeter also just stopped working at 220,000 miles. This is an integral part of the speedometer assembly, and cannot be repaired. The entire speedometer must be replaced.
i have a 1990 Isuzu trooper as well and the speedometer and odometer also quit working, they both come off of a mechanical cable that is attached to the drive train. that cable breaks, and you lose both speed and odometer indications. they are extremely difficult to find, so if you do, write me back...
Radio in 1990 Lexus LS400 stopped working, possible answer?
If the speedometer doesn't work either, then the cable broke or came loose. Otherwise, the gears in the odometer broke.
check your fuses
A 1990 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe weighs approximately 3,600 pounds.
Speed sensor While yes the speed sensor can cause the odometer to quit working the speedometer will quit at the same time. If you have the electronic cluster (the orange bar with the white behind it) there is a motor that runs the odometer and that can stop working. That cluster is designed to where you can replace just that unit, although I don't know where you'll be able to find a decent working one. -answered by Sye
