Why is my Ford Explorer odometer not working?

I noticed that when I drive, my Ford Explorer’s digital instrument panel starts blinking—especially the odometer. What’s wrong with the odometer?

There could be several reasons why your
Ford Explorer
odometer light is blinking. Here are some of the likely culprits:
  • Loose or corroded wiring
  • Faulty battery or other electric components
  • Transmission issues
The best course of action would be to take your vehicle to a Ford service center or another repair shop. A mechanic can diagnose the issue with your vehicle and discuss the next steps for getting it repaired.
