Error 3: Ford digital odometer?

Does anyone know what "Error 3" means in regards to the Ford digital
odometers and how to correct the problem? I recently purchased a 1992
Bronco that had a dead odometer. I replaced the fuse to bring it back
to life, and now it alternates between displaying the mileage and
flashing the words, "Error 3." Is there a way to remedy this short of
taking it to the dealer?

Thanks,

Now that the fuse is back in place have you tried disconnecting teh
battery for half an hour to let the computer reset. Maybe that will
clear the error code and it won't show up when you hook the battery
back up.

I found this...

Question: 1992 Ford Aerostar XLT 4.0 mileage: 200 kms. I have a 1992
ford Aerostar and the digital odometer flashes error 3 when I drive
it. It still registers the amount of miles, but it keeps flashing that
error. I'm not sure what it means and any help would be greatly
appreciated

Answer: Your car will flash an error 3 when you have a problem with
the brake system. Therefore you need to scan the ABS (brake system)
for fault codes.
