Odometer stopped working

Hi guys:

A couple of months ago my horn got stuck while parked at the house and blew out the horn and cruise control. I got this fixed (horn sound now sucks... ) but the odometer stopped turning. I have searched in the forums but I believe the fix described here is for digital odometers and mine is analog/mechanical. The dealer wanted $500 to replace the gauge template /wiring.

Do any of you have had the same problem or know how to go about fixing it?? My truck is a 1997 F 150 4x4 Ext Cab 4.6l

Cheers

It's too bad you don't have digital. it's more common and after fixing mine, took 3 years of procrastinating I fixed it and it works great. I would suspect a loose something behind your cluster which isn't that hard to remove. One point though, if you decide to remove, loosen screws all the way and keep a pen magnet handy so they don't drop. It's a little tight in there and I have bigger hands and lost 2.
