In a Saturn, the speedometer and odometer often rely on different sensors to function. While the odometer tracks the distance traveled using information from the vehicle's transmission, the speedometer typically relies on a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) for real-time speed readings. If the VSS fails or has a wiring issue, the speedometer will stop working while the odometer continues to function normally. Thus, a malfunction in the speed sensor is usually the culprit when the speedometer is non-functional but the odometer still operates.

1996 ford ranger Odometer and Trip gauge don't work but Speedometer works. How can I fix this Thanks?

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.
