hit the top of the dash. our company f150 truck does the same thing. it just needs to be reminded that you are watching it. give it about 3 hard hits on the top right above the cluster and it should come back.

No problem It's pretty straight forward to fix and when I did those pictures, it was my first Odometer gear change ever. Just take your time and you can do it.

It's held in like the cap of a prescription medicine bottle. There are two tabs that need to be pushed down (carefully) and twist the motor at the same time to remove. You may have to start one side, just a bit, an then start the other.
