    My speedo wasn't working. Put a new cable in, now it works.

    Now my odometer isn't working. Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Thanks for your time

    If your speedometer is working then the odometer should work,I would think it will be cheaper to to replace the odometer if you can find one.

    I will also echo Jeff's suggestion to join the 52-59 Ford social group. HRP

    Take out the speedo ***embly and look at it. The odometer is gear-driven so it's either stuck or the gear has been damaged. Lubricate or repair as required.

    Ok. What does it take to remove the speedo ***embly? Is there screws or brackets on the back side?
    Thanks for your time.

    If it's like a '54 Ford there are several hex headed bolts that hold it in place. HRP

    Also if there is any similarity to the '54 speedometer the odometer is built in.

    This is a couple of photos of the one that is in my car. HRP
