All of a sudden the odometer (digital) no longer displays. It appears to be the only instrument not displaying. Is it fixable and is mileage still being recorded?

Do you mean the back light for the odometer no longer lights up?It's common for the bulbs to go out in them. The mileage is stored in the body control module on that car not the speedometer itself.

Yes. It got very dark, but I can see the display. How difficult to replace the bulb?

Pretty easy remove the bezel tilt the steering wheel down remove the screws holding the cluster which is a 7mm headed screw. Unplug the cluster remove it and replace the bulb it twists in.I would get a bulb ahead of time before removing the cluster.
