I have been told that the cluster is essentially "throw away". Beware of scammers when looking for a replacement. I was quoted $500.00 (including programming)+ $350.00 for installation. I went to the wreckers and got a cluster for $60.00. Disconnect the positive battery terminal. After snapping off the small plastic trim underneath the windshield, snapping off the vent cover on the dashboard, removing about a dozen, "easy to get at screws," the dashboard easily lifts out of the way. All you do is unplug the cluster at the back, plug the new one in, and you're done. No programming is required... the onboard computer automatically resets the odometer to the correct mileage. Re-install the dashboard and trim in reverse order. The whole process took me about 45 minutes. It's much easier than one would think.

Odometer isn't working on 2001 dodge caravan?

I would say you have a problem with the dash cluster. If both speedometer and odometer were not working I would say the problem may be the speed sensor but being only the odometer is out I would blame the cluster. I believe you will have to replace the cluster as a whole with a reconditioned unit. This will probably be a dealer item only.
