1998 FORD MUSTANG

I have a Ford Mustang 6cyl. 1998; mileage 93,000
the other day, my gas gauge and odometer decided to stop working. A day or two later, my gas gauge kicked back on. But my odometer is still not counting.
My speedometer is working just fine. Just my odometer no longer works. I asked my local dealer what this could be from, and they said it is my "cluster". And they said it is replaceable. What can I do to fix this problem?
Any help, would be great. Thank you.

If you decide to do this you'll likely need to find it a salvage yard it is a dealer item only. Be sure you check local state laws if it involves replacing the odometer you'll probably need to file papers with DMV

Suggested Repair

Replace the instrument cluster. It is typically a dealer-only part, so a matching unit from a salvage yard is a common source. Check local state laws and file any required DMV paperwork when the odometer is replaced.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1998 Ford Mustang (6-cylinder, about 93,000 miles) reported that the gas gauge and odometer stopped working. The gas gauge later resumed, but the odometer still does not count while the speedometer works normally. The dealer said the instrument cluster is the cause and is replaceable. Expert advice is to replace the cluster, likely from a salvage yard because it is a dealer-only item, and to check state laws and file DMV paperwork if the odometer is replaced.
