I don't know what type of vehicle you have but usually when both the odometer and speedometer don't work, you need a new speedometer cable. My husband replaced the one on his 97 Tracker and it worked for 2 weeks and quit again. He just drives with the flow of traffic and in order to pass inspection he has to get a DMV Waiver every single year. He will never be able to sell it because he has no idea what the actual mileage on it is. He just drives it in bad weather and stuff since it has 4WD. I don't think the speedometer cable is very expensive. Good luck.

Sounds like either your speedometer cable, your nylon gear on the side of the tranny where the cable ties in, or the odometer itself is shot. One of those three will set you straight. If you are able, remove the cluster, take the cable off the back, and pull it out of the sheath. You will see if its broken or not from there. If not, slide it back into the sheath, then you have to find out where the sheath meets the tranny, and pull it off of there. Then, you can get someone else to watch the speedo as you turn the cable from the bottom. If it works, great, if not, then its your cluster/odometer/speedo. If it does work, the small gear in the transmission is shot.

Your speed sensor has failed. The vehicles speedometer is not cable controled, it's controled by a sensor in your transmission. It's a easy fix, but the new sensor is about $80 to $100 depending on where you get it.

SOURCE: odometer and trip odometer stopped working. Speedometer works.

The problem is going to be a worn or broken odometer gear. You can purchase the gear at odometergears.com for $29.00 with the shipping. Follow their how to repair on the Mustang to help in the repair. I believe you will have just the worm gear to replace.

Speedometer and Odometer not working , Break Light and Abs light on

Most likely you have a check engine light on also. And if you have codes pulled it will be 0500, speed sensor. Replace the one on the rear axle and all should be good. Oh and don,t forget to have code cleared.
