If the speedometer continues to work - probably a broken gear etc. in speedometer head and probably will have to be replaced. If speedometer does not work -- probably a broken speedometer cable
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
If the speedo stops also, it is the speed sensor. If just the odometer, take it to a speedo shop.
If the speedometer doesn't work either, then the cable broke or came loose. Otherwise, the gears in the odometer broke.
my odometer sometimes working sometimes not working
If the speedometer is not working but the odometer is, I would suspect the dash cluster is at fault. If both speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the speed sensor on the transmission is at fault.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
the plastic gear in the cluster that drives the odometer and the tripmeter is probly broken ..
The odometer has failed.
If both odometer and speedometer are not working I would blame the vehicle speed sensor. If just the odometer isn't working the gauge cluster assembly needs to be replaced with a reconditioned one.
What would make your speed odometer stop working after putting an alternator on? 2005 Chevy Malibu
Most likely it is the VSS. Vehicle Speed Sensor. Have it checked out at your local garage or buy a new one and do it yourself. Although a computer check would be preferable first to obtain any codes.
