You may have broken/unplugged the spedo cable.

My odometer doesn't work; I replaced the cable, but didn't fix it...

Firsttime, I think Bad96 might be right on yours.

Make sure the speedo cable is properly seated in the driven gear. The end of the cable fits into a slot in the driven gear. If it isn't seated properly the driven gear won't turn the cable, it just spins but the cable doesn't turn.. Pull it out and re-insert it and tighten down the collar.
