On a 1997 Ford Thunderbird : The odometer is in the middle of the speedometer

It is not clear from your question whether the odometer is mechanical or digital. If it is digital, this is likely the beginning symptoms of a cracked solder joint on the circuit board that provides power and mileage information to the odometer display.

To repair the odometer in a 1997 Ford Ranger, you'll typically need to access the instrument cluster. Start by disconnecting the battery and removing the dashboard cover to access the cluster. Then, remove the cluster from the dashboard, and inspect the gears and connections for any damage or disconnections. If the gears are broken, you may need to replace them or the entire cluster, and then reassemble everything, ensuring proper reconnections before testing the odometer functionality.
