91 Vic Odometer not working

[tamalpass]

OK

On my 91 Vic Wagon, the speedometer works fine, but the odometer doesn't work.

So, do we have an electronic speedo and mechanical odo?

I've done a search for the problem, but haven't found anything specific.

Any pointers on what might be the cause and fix?

Thanks!

Whoops, should this be in the interior section? Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

91 vic speedo is electronic
the odometer gears strip out

Electronic speedos started in 1990.

Seems like a very common problem.

It wasn't important enough for me to drop $25 a gear. I probably would have broke the speedometer changing them, too.

Thanks for the clarification!!!!



Gives me an excuse to drop a 140 speedo in.

I must say that having the 140 speedo gives the car a complete different feel!...well at least a look. lol

No, the speedometer is electric, and a gear driven by the speedo turns the odometer, they break very often, even the aeros had the same problem. Our odometer only works when it feels like it. I'm not sure if Ford sells a repair kit or not. Only other bet is a junkyard car that still has a working odometer. But that probably won't last that long.

my odometer stopped,and then the trip did. dont even try to get them at the junkyard,they fall apart when you touch them. cheap brittle plastic
