Odometer malfunction

I have a 1999 ford f-150 4.2L V6 5 speed manual with 184,000 miles and about 20,000 miles ago the odometer stoped working like it only comes on now and then maybe once a week. what would be causing this? i know you can find an odometer from a salvage or on ebay and then take it to ford and they have it reset for your truck but is it a relay that causes it or what? if anyone has any ideas please let me know

thank you,
Tyler

this is a somewhat common problme. There is a bad solder joint on the back of the circuit board on the instrument cluster.. you can fix it.
