Default Odometer isn't working, But Speedometer works fine

My odometer stoped working a few weeks ago. the speedometer works fine. then about a week ago it started to work again. but it stoped working after about 100 miles or so. Can it be the VSS? i don't think it is since the Speedo is working. Any one have any idea? please help

With the complete lack of info you've given I would "guess" the odometer went bad. I've seen that happen alot in the 5th gen Accords. About the only way to fix it is by replacing the speedo.

This is the gift from God! If your speedo works and miles dont roll that means value of the car does not depreciate. drive it till you decide to sell it or drive it till it dies. And your mileage is gonna be spanking low!

That's called fraud and is a criminal offense.

My 94 did that. Simple fix, rip the dash out and get a small screwdriver. Catch a grip on one of the teeth that turns the tripmeter or odometer and give it a little pop to get it unstuck.

That is all mine was and that is all that I needed to do to fix it. Had it fixed in 30 mins.

I have the exact same problem right now. Now, are you just talking about the front dash panel, or the whole damn dash? Because the whole dash is not supposed to be a 30 minute job...

Stupid odometer At 199999, it rolled to 190000. Then at 199000 it froze again

I wouldn't care as much (I plan to drive this POS into the ground and not sell it) if it didn't make planning for maintenance a pain in the ***
