I had the same problem, tried all kinds of things to fix it. the only thing that works it to take out the instrment cluster, remove the circut board and then resolder all the solders for the two connector plugs.
On a 1997 Ford Thunderbird : The odometer is in the middle of the speedometer
The speedometer and odometer are electrically operated. There is no mechanical connection to the drivetrain. If there is no power, they don't work.
Replace the instrument cluster.
They don't have fuses. The speedometer is controlled by the speed sensor(s) and the temperature gauge is controlled by the coolant temperature sensor.
my odometer sometimes working sometimes not working
Check out the wiring for the speed sensor located on the trans,. GoodluckJoe
According to my Haynes repair manual, 1996 and later models do not use a conventional speedometer cable. They use an electronic speedometer and a vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
is there afuse for the odometer at Honda accord 1997
Try checking Fuse #7 10amp under the dash. This is for a 1997 model.
It could be a problem with the speedometer assy, since the two are actually one unit. It could also be a speed sensor which is located in the transmission housing on the the right side output drive axle housing.
The speedometer needs to work in a vehicle for safety and informative reasons. The causes of it intermittently working could be the lack of electricity, or a problem with the sensor.Ê
