1997 F-150 odometer problems

I have a 1997 150 with a 5.4 liter, as it was in the process of rolling over to 90,000 miles all of a sudden the odometer stopped working, the trip odometer also has stopped working. Anyone have suggestions on where I should start?
Thanks for any help

did it actually stop or did it blank out? Mine blanks out every now and then and there is a thread on that. But when mine blanks out it still adds miles to it.

I have a 93 T-Bird that just quit working as well only thing is it was at 162000mi, speedo still works fine though! Here is what I found about the Bird's problem online, may be similar.

I'm in the process of trying to find a fix for it that is reasonably priced, so far the cheapest I have found is in the neighborhood of $60 (different site from the one above), and that's just for the two small gears. If I were to pull out the cluster and send it in they charge $195. Seems there are quite a few models such as Audi, BMW, etc. that have the same problem.

I get the impression it's another supplier problem! Ford needs to get on the stick with these suppliers of theirs.
