Hi all. I noticed over the last couple days that my odometer and the tripmeter aren’t moving at all despite me driving about 13 miles. I haven’t tried to reset the tripmeter, but will do that maybe tomorrow. I don’t know when it stopped moving, but I guess it’s been at least 3 days (it’s my wife’s car so I don’t drive it much). Any ideas as to why it’s stopped? Is it hard to fix? Will resetting the trip unstick it?
Thanks!

What vehicle are we on?
Hi! It’s a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2. It has the analog odometer. I tried resetting the trip meter, but it hasn’t moved since I reset it.
Thanks!see if this helps. check any fuses for the speedo and cluster. Engine light on? If so
you may want to stop at a auto part store to have any codes read for free then post any codes.Hi, I have the same problem on my 96 Ford Contour 2.0 GL (ztech). I thought I might get some pointers from the diagram on your post, but I can’t access the diagram, and I don’t know if it would apply to my vehicle. My fuses are good, and no check engine light is on. What do you think?
Sorry for letting this go. There is and was no check engine light on. Fuses seem OK, everything works besides the odometer and trip. Speedo and tach and temp/fuel gauges all work fine. The ODO is stuck at 145000 on the dot and the trip hasn’t budged even after pushing in the reset plunger. It’s been a while and there’s no change. I am thinking of just leaving it and changing the oil every 5 months (the car isn’t driven much). I did look at the diagram and read through the posts for the link, and it didn’t help much.
If anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to chime in.
Thanks!
