Odometer and Speedometer Not working on Mercury Tracer

The speedometer and odometer are electrically driven by sensor.
These sensor is called Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Typically it will be the Speedometer / Instrument Panel or the VSS causing the problem of speedometer not working.
But it can also be the fuse issue,inspect the mentioned fuses :----

Test Fuses :
OBDII located in the Under Hood Fuse Panel
METER located in the Inside Fuse Panel

See the Fuse location and VSS wiring diagram for 1998 Mercury Tracer Vehicle:-----

Vehicles Cluster panel Not reading Miles?

Its issue with instrument cluster board.
The vehicle speed sensor [located behind the speedometer in the instrument cluster] drives both the speedometer and the odometer [mileage meter]. It sounds like an electric problem in the instrument cluster. Remove the instrument cluster and take it to your local speedometer repair shop. Look in the yellow pages for them. Or simply buy and install a used instrument cluster from a junk yard.

This basic details will help.Thanks.
