Icon5 2001 Ranger - Speedometer/Odomoter - but still have dome light/wipers

I have a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4X2 3.0 V6 - Manual.

I was driving today the odomoter was no longer being displayed. It looks like along with this the speedometer stopped working. I still have a dome light and wipers that are working.

I was reading the forums and saw this could potentially either be a fuse or the VSS. Anyone able to help which specific fuses for this model I should check/replace?

Thanks!

What do you mean "No Longer Being Displayed" ?
You have a mechanical odometer, do you mean it no longer registers mileage ? and your speedometer also stopped working ?

Both of those have nothing to do with the dome light and wipers still working and didn't need mentioned, just useless info.

The odometer is not mechanical and is electrical, so it is no longer displaying any numbers for mileage. The speedometer on the dash isn't registering anything as well. Hence why asking if it could possibly be a blown fuse and if so which fuses it might be? Or if it is something else...

Then you don't have a 2001

A 2001 looks like this, up to 2003.
2004 and newer are digital.

+1 ^^^

Need to know the Year of the Ranger so we can tell you what fuses to check

And no, not the VSS sensor in a 2001 to 2011 Ranger in any case, there isn't one, they use OSS sensor via the Computer starting in 2001

2004 to 2011 Digital dashes looked like this: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/KFoAA...g6z/s-l300.jpg
Can also be white face
Has a digital odometer instead of mechanical

If you have this instrument cluster in a 2001 Ford Ranger, it's been modified and I have no idea how they got it to work at all.

We know that, OP even states that in the first post.

The problem is, he claims his odometer is digital, 2001's don't have digital odometers, not until 2004

That's what we are trying to figure out.
1. correct year
2. correct dash
3. is it modified

Yep,
Stock 2001 Ranger InstrumentCluster is PreHEC version (pic below),
2004+Later Ranger has different HybridElectronicCluster\HEC version.
PreHEC Speed+OdoMeter is SpeedSensor electrically driven, with a mechanical Dial+Number display.
Do you have the stock PreHEC version or something else?
