I need to fix the odometer and speedometer in a 97 ford explorer
If the speedometer works, but the odometer is not working, there could be a fuse blown if the odometer is digital. If the odometer is not digital, then a gear is broken in the speedometer cable. It should be replaced.

Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
To fix the odometer on a 1962 Ford Falcon, first, remove the speedometer from the dashboard by unscrewing it and disconnecting the speedometer cable. Inspect the odometer gears for any damage or misalignment; if they are worn or broken, they may need to be replaced. Clean any debris from the mechanism and reassemble the speedometer carefully, ensuring everything is aligned properly. Finally, reinstall the speedometer and reconnect the cable to test the odometer functionality.
If both the speedometer and odometer are not working I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is at fault. If the speedometer doesn't work and the odometer does, I would suspect the instrument cluster is at fault.
Replace the instrument cluster.
As far as I know, you have to replace the cluster.
If the odometer has failed, does the speedometer still work? They are both driven by a cable which spins. If the speedometer is still working, than the odometer has jammed. Probably a dealer fix.
There is a cable which runs from your front axle to the odometer/speedometer. Inside this cable is a gear box. As the front axle spin it transfers how fast your axle is spinning to your speedometer. This also spins your odometer. Something is either worn out in the cable, gearbox, or one of the ends of the cable has become disconnected. It's a very inexpensive fix.
the little gear that turns the numbers is broke and the only way to fix is replace the whole speedometer.
