Odometer quit working but speedodometer works all gagues work need to know what to check

If the speedometer is still working, but the odometer does not, most likely the cable is broken (separate drives for odometer and speedometer within a single cable) or the dash unit needs replacing...

replace the speedo or the cluster

Vss (vehicle speed sensor) could be bad

The sensor is usually located at the passenger side axel near the wheel drum. It works by sending a signal to the PCM at the exact velocity. I think it is the sensor.

If your 95 XR7 odometer stopped working the most common problem is the plastic gears. They get so hot the surface shows bubbles that weaken the gears and eventually cause the gear or gears to break and the odometer stops working. The odometer part of the speedodometer has a small electric motor which drives a 16 tooth cam gear also called carrier gear (POD) which then drives a 20 tooth internediate gear which drives the odometer and trip odometer. These 2 gears need to be replaced. I also have a 95 XR7 and had the same problem and I got the replacement gears and did it myself. If you go to www.odometergears.com they have picture instructions and you can also order your replacement gears.

This is if the cluster lighting still works, but the display is blank. Don't know if you mean the gauges in the cluster do not work.

defective electronic speedometer, and that is the straight answer from a Ford dealer technicain

the odometer is bad, if the speedo works ok.. you will need to send it off and have it replaced. most auto shops/dealers have a place that they send them off to .

Odometer is turned by a mechanical gear wheel, which is the likely culprit.
