Hello,

If the only issue is an inoperative odometer, it is likely a worn/broken gear for the odometer inside the gauge cluster.
Those gears tend to wear off overtime and can even brake due to the plastic quality.

In order to fix this issue, you will have to remove the gauge cluster and open the back of the cluster to access the odometer gears.

There are repair kits that is available for these. Typically costs around $20.00.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
