1997 f150 odometer not working
as the title says my odometer and trip odometer have stopped working completely. I have the analog mechanical display and it's been stuck at 203,197 for about three days. Is there a fix for this?

Wow I would have thought it was an easy fix. So I basically have to replace the cluster. Luckily mine started working the day I posted this. Hopefully it stays that way.

If the problem returns, you may want to consider replacing the infamour plastic worm gear. Here is another thread Analog Odometer Gear for 1997 F-150 - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans. The instrument cluster has to come out. It takes time but not too bad.

WOW mine has done the same thing, It stopped at 386,284 miles.... lol. there is a gear in the instrument cluster that I saw a buddy of mine having to replace, they get old and worn out over time, and will fail. I dont think its too necessary to replace, I mean I dont know if it will cause you to fail an inspection or not.... the guy who does my inspections never says anything about it. 1997 F150 4.6L extended cab.

1997 F 150 Odometer analog
i have a 1997 F150 ,the odometer and trip stop working. i found a shop that works on Speedometers . i took it out myself and took it to them. They had it fixed in less then an hour and recalibrated it. only $130.00 . Also when you take out the cluster the Alternator will not charge the battery ,so keep that in mind,
