I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus and the clutch went out. I got the clutch replaced and when I got the vehicle back. The speedometer and mileage meter stopped working. The car runs fine.

press and hold the trip/odometer reset button while turning the ignition switch to OFF, then RUN position. this should cycle the gauges to do a self check. if the speedo and odo are not working after this than there may have been wiring left loose during previous repair such as the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) wiring.

Where do I find the wiring for the VSS? I tried the reset suggestion but it did not work.
