My girlfriend bought a 94 Ranger (4.0 2wd) a little over a month ago and the odometer and speedometer were a little off. The odometer would read 8 tenths for 1 mile and the speedo was off about 5mph at 25 and 10 mph at 55, but it was constant and manageable so it wasn't a major concern. We moved to the panhandle of Florida (from Orlando so it's a lot colder here) and the next morning both the odometer and speedometer stopped working. Well every once in a while the speedo would jump and somewhere the odometer added a couple tenths. Of course some idiot packed up his Explorer's Chiltons manual (we need the head bash against the wall smiley) and I don't know which box it's in (we've only been up here for 2 days now).
Any ideas as to what could have happened? It worked when she pulled it up to the new house but not the next morning. It did get below freezing that night (might be relavent) for the first time since we got the truck.
Is the speedo cable driven or electronic and how is it connected to the odometer (or two separate problems)?
My brain is already mostly fried because of the move (we still have one more trip to make which is why I would like to get this fixed before we have to go back next week) so any help is appreciated. I did quick search but the results all came back up for 4WD and talked about the gear in the transfer case which I don't have.
