    Hey guys, my odometer has not been working for a while. It is stuck on the same mileage , and the trip counts do not work either. Everything else on the instrument panel works.

    Any ideas of some things to look at? Could it just be a fuse? Any ideas appreciated, thanks!

    Does the odometer seem like it's trying to turn but getting stuck mechanically?

    Otherwise, I'd say sometimes the electrolytic capacitors in the speedometer stop working and cause problems like this, so if you're good with electronics it's something to look into.

    LOL, yeah I'm getting ready to sell my truck actually so I'm slowly fixing all the little things I have not got around to.. looks like my truck has about 20,000 less miles than it actually does:D but I'll probably tell them that

    I have not checked the connections yet, but I should probably start there huh

    Well it is a digital not mechanical odometer, but yeah I should probably start with pulling the panel off
