This seems to be a common thing.. Mine is also not working. There's a gear that breaks inside the odometer.You can buy a new gear online or on ebay! Here's the DIY for the fix. http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/odometer_fix.php

If you want to know the actual mileage even after the odo has stopped, you can get it from the ECU. IF 1993-1995, you can retrieve it yourself otherwise you can either visit auto parts shop to see if they can pull it for you or donate some $ at a dealer.

Here's a quote from MVS:
As long as you have the DTC boxes up under the hood ('93-'95).

1. Switch ignition on

2. Connect the fly wire to socket - A7

3. Push button 5 times

4. When LED comes on and stays on, enter code 1-1-1 as follows:
- press the button once when LED is still on
- wait for LED to go out and come on again
- press the button once when LED is still on
- wait for LED to go out and come on again
- press the button once when LED is still on
- read off response, which will be the last three digits of the odometer miles

5. Repeat steps #3-4, but enter code
1-1-2 (that is, press the button twice on the last step); read off the response, which will be the first three digits of the odometer miles. If you have less than 100,000 miles, the first digit will read as 10 blinks.
