All other interior lights are working. Do I need to replace just a bulb or the entire light cluster? How do I do this? My car has approx. 70,000 miles on it and the odometer light went out in last 2 weeks. Do I need to replace just a bulb or whole light cluster?

Usually either a fuse or a bulb. I have schematics, but I need to know if your car has a trip computer or not.

I'm not sure what a trip computer is. The odometer has 3 settings: (1) total miles car has been driven (2) Trip A miles (3) Trip B miles. I usually use Trip A to show me the number of miles driven between each fuel stop. If desired, I can use Trip B to show me the miles driven from Point A to Point B, while Trip A is still calculating separately the number of miles between fuel stops. Hope this makes sense. Is this what you need to know?

Thank you so much! I can't get the thumbnail to enlarge enough to read it (or print it). Basically, will pulling out the light cluster and changing out the right bulb fix the problem?

It should. A blown bulb is the cause of your problem, 99 times out of 100.
