Odometer stopped working after battery change

Hey guys, my odometer stopped working this AM. Last thing I did was change out the battery and reorganize the frunk. Now it is the coldest day of the year here in Houston so it could be that the gear finally broke, but wanted to check if anyone else had any other ideas before I tear into the gauge.

Thanks!

My guess is it just broke and the battery change has nothing to do with it. Mine just stopped one day. Be careful pulling it out, if it has not been out before - the factory harness was pretty tight on mine and some wires pulled off before I could grab a picture of how it was wired. This thread sit it straight for me and was exactly correct for my car:

thanks, looks like I will send it off. Tried removing the bezel for about 5 min and thought better of it before I really mess something up.

Just to close this out. It was in fact the gear. Shipped it off to Overseas Odometer in Austin. Rick did a fantastic job. Sent out Monday, back on Thurs. Installed this AM and all is working.
Highly recommend them, thanks everyone.
