My odometer stopped working about a month ago and now I do not know how many actual miles my car has.

Have it checked for a bad dash or speedo may need repairing. If speedo works it's probably a speedo repair needed.

Hey JESSIE@35,

The odometer reading is kept in the instrument cluster itself even though you cannot see it because the display driver has gone out. You will need to replace the cluster with a used unit which will have a different reading or, have yours rebuilt from a place like www.aertech.com which is who we use. You must remove the unit and send it in ups. Call them first though.

Here is a video on how to do it

The car is a little different but you will get the idea, let me know how it goes

Best, Ken
