Intermittent Odometer - A Repair - This article explains how to repair the odometer. Ususally it is a cold solder joint on the pins that the odometer display plugs into.
This vehicle is great! Never have any problems....except this. This is quite annoying, not very often, but when you need the mileage for something or if you want to do a trip meter, it's almost impossible...
This problem occurred while it was still under warranty but Ford claimed that the part that was causing the odometer to not light up was not covered event though the odometer was covered for both electrical and mechanical. Like the others, I can sometimes bang on the dash and it will light if I need it to. The solution I submitted was what was on the paperwork from the dealership as to what needed to be replaced. I think it would have been over $500 just for the part.

My odometer doesn't work. The radio fades out and the Door locks don't work.
