Your Windstar is subject to a Ford recall for the cause of this problem.The cause is a leaking brake pressure sensor screwed into the bottom of the master cylinder.I would suggest contacting your Ford dealer confirm your van is covered (I believe every single Windstar is part of the recall), and arrange for the quick and easy repair.See "Related Questions" below for more
There has been a lot written about the odometer display going blank due to a bad solder joint(s) for the display. I would suspect that this bad joint(s) has somehow put the display into this condition and would be fixed if the joints were reflowed with a small solder gun.Check out this link for an incredible amount of info on how to do this:http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/196821-odometer-blackout-problem-fixed.html
a short in you wiring harness
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
what can cause my speed odometer to stop working, it would work awhile, than stop, now not at all
Yes, a bad fuse can cause the odometer to stop working, especially if the fuse is related to the vehicle's instrument cluster or dashboard electronics. If the fuse is blown, it may disrupt the power supply to the odometer, preventing it from functioning properly. However, other issues such as a malfunctioning speed sensor or problems with the instrument cluster itself can also cause the odometer to fail. It's essential to diagnose the specific cause to determine the appropriate solution.
Yes
The odometer in a 2009 Subaru Tribeca may not work due to several common issues, including a faulty speed sensor, a malfunctioning instrument cluster, or electrical problems such as a blown fuse or loose wiring. Additionally, if there is a problem with the vehicle's transmission, it could affect the odometer reading. It’s best to diagnose the issue with a professional mechanic or technician to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend the necessary repairs.
This seems to be a problem with F-150 so I broadened my search and found this forum with than answer. There seems to be a bad solder joint on the LDC display of the odometer. This can be fixed by reheating the solder at the crack and letting it re-flow. Here is a link to the instructions and posts about it: http://www.f150online.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126765&highlight=odometer -Trevor ------------------------------ There's also a lot of additional information and a repair manual at http://www.odometer-repair.com.
If the speedo stops also, it is the speed sensor. If just the odometer, take it to a speedo shop.
Cause they are sick of you
Check the IOD (Ignition Off Draw) fuse, and all of the incoming and ground connection in the instrument cluster.
