Head back, same behavior.

Stumped?
Us too
Does the ODO tick off miles as you drive?
If it ticks off miles but the trip counters are inop, there are a couple of basic power checks to diagnose your instrument cluster, then you replace it or send it in for repairs
That is what the dealer would have done back when it was new
Now that it is older, you are looking at a electronics service shop like "Spedo Tach" to repair your cluster
Mat be as simple as a stuck trip reset button
Grab yourself a service manual and start testing
You could hit your library for free manuals on AllData

Could it be that the trip distance is supposed to be 999 miles, but it is really 1,000 miles?

Does the normal odometer count accurately?
