Trip meter and odometer don't advance; all other combined instrument functions are OK 850 1994

Trip meter and odometer used to work well. When I reset the trip meter last week (we do this for each tank of gas) the trip meter went to zero and stayed there. The odometer also is not advancing. The speedometer and all other VDO combined instrument functions are OK.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks.

It is the odometer gear failure. Very common. Got to odometergears.com to get a replacement gear. Then check volvospeed.com to see how to remove the instrument cluster to get at the odometer. I also suggest replacing the dashboard bulbs while you are in there. I didn;t do that, now I have a burned out one and have to go back in.

Bummer. I changed the bulbs last fall. I didn't think the 850s had an odo gear. Thanks for the info.
