There are plastic gears that get hot and melt in these odometers. Best way to fix is to get a new odometer installed. Changing the gears can be tricky

    autoxpresstech.com can do it, or to do it yourself, buy the gears at odometergears.com

I have a 1995 mercury cougar and my odometer stoped wporing so i got two off wrecked cars and it still will not work can it be the wires to the odometer

If your 95 XR7 odometer stopped working the most common problem is the plastic gears. They get so hot the surface shows bubbles that weaken the gears and eventually cause the gear or gears to break and the odometer stops working. The odometer part of the speedodometer has a small electric motor which drives a 16 tooth cam gear also called carrier gear (POD) which then drives a 20 tooth internediate gear which drives the odometer and trip odometer. These 2 gears need to be replaced. I also have a 95 XR7 and had the same problem and I got the replacement gears and did it myself. If you go to www.odometergears.com they have picture instructions and you can also order your replacement gears.

My 1995 cougar xr7 v8 odometer stopped working. the rest of the cluster is working.

the problem is common and the fix is to remove the cluster assy and sent it in for repair to a factory approved repair center, the part needed to repair this are not sold to the consumer only to the factory repair centers, the cost to repair is modest, call the dealer for detail's of where to send it.

The gas guage and odometer on my 94 mercury cougar dont work. how hard are these problems to fix? would it be something i could possibly do mysef? because i want to learn to fix things on my car myself and...

It is not easy to remove the fuel tank, the guage is inside the fuel tank.. The sensor for the odometer is on the transfer case on the transmission. It may be better to go toprofessional. Good Luck.

93 COUGAR ODOMETER

The best solution i can offer for this problem is to take it to the dealer, they will probably have to send the cluster out to have the odometer repaired. You can call them first to find out exactly wha needs to be done. Hope this helps.
