i have a 2001 escape with a bad back lite. It is an easy replacement. I found the following description to be accurate.

Set the hand brake, put the shift lever in low, drop the steering wheel to its lowest position, and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove 2 screws from the cluster bezel and pull it out. Remove 4 additional screws from the cluster and pull it out far enough to disconnect 3 electrical connectors on back. Remove the cluster and remove the bulb behind the odometer display by twisting its holder and pulling. Install a new bulb in the existing holder or get a new bulb with holder. Installation is the reverse. No scan tool is required. The odometer mileage is held in non-volatile memory and won't change.

To repair a non-functioning odometer in a 1998 Buick Regal GS, first check the fuse related to the instrument cluster, as a blown fuse can cause the odometer to not light up. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiring connections behind the instrument cluster for any loose or damaged wires. If those are fine, you may need to remove the instrument cluster to check for faulty bulbs or a malfunctioning odometer gear. If necessary, consider replacing the entire cluster or seeking professional help for more complex issues.
