NC odometer stopped working 1993 RX7

I posted earlier and neglected to give important information. I have a 1993 RX7 and the other day the odometer stopped displaying the mileage. I keep checking and the display will not return. The speedometer works fine.
Any Help here as to how to get this fixed?
Thanks,
Harrison

Fortunately I've never had issues with my instrument cluster and only had the dash apart once years ago...just to add factory cruise. But since no one else has chimed in.....
I do know that solder joints on the back of the gauge clusters occasionally develope cracks and cause wierd issues. If your good with a soldering iron it might be a (relatively) simple fix once the gauge cluster is pulled. I would start by downloading the Factory Service Manual (FSM) along with Electrical Manual and begin checking continuity back from the transmission.

If those checks do eventually lead you to the dash, this might be some help: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...t=dash+removal
The key IMO is to GO SLOW and don't force anything. Plastics get fragile after nearly two decades.


Good luck.
