I have a set of custom gauges in my Fox. I got the from Florida 5.0 (Florida 5.0) and they were a breeze to install. Here's a couple of pics of them installed.

nothings wrong with the gauges, just that my odometer and trip odometer dont work, even after swaping gauges. im taking the orginal speedomter to ford tomorrow to see if they can offer me some insite, but really i think im screwed in that department

would be nice to say how many miles are on the engine, the trans will be getting replaced in a month or so.

what year car? and is it a fuse problem?

hershy314 · 03-14-2010

its a 94, and i wouldnt know what fuse to check

I wouldn't think it is a fuse issue if the odometer and trip odometer are not working. I believe those are direct drive off the tranny. Sounds like you might have a stripped out gear somewhere. Either where it connects to the back of the instrument cluster/speedo or at the tranny.

well i pulled apart my old cluster to see how it works. i cant make heads or tails of it. hell ill deal with it when i get my new trans.

I'm bettng you have the same situation as the old T-Birds, basically the gear inside them gets brittle, cracks and breaks.
