Talking Odometer and Speedometer stopped today 126

My Odometer (trip too) and Speedo stopped today. Any ideas why both would stop at the same time. Tach still works as well as other gauges. Fuses look fine.
Thanks for the help.

Can all of this (replacing the front inner and outer bearings) be done without any special tools?

replace fuses

First step... replace all fuses... take that piece out of the mix... after you replace them and try to run everything, check them again and see if anything knocked out a fuse. Good place to start.

I am sure Hit Man will answer, but I just turned mine up and it was a huge performance jump. NO LAG... NONE. Touch the accellerator and you are moving.
