If the interior lights and overdrive are also not working then is a fuse. Look in the owners manual to see which fuse.
If the speedometer works, but the odometer is not working, there could be a fuse blown if the odometer is digital. If the odometer is not digital, then a gear is broken in the speedometer cable. It should be replaced.
check the fuse, the speedometer does not run off of a fuse
is there a fuse box under the dash on a 1999 ford taurus
Check with the dealership or the manufacturer to see. I don't think that the odometer has a plug in the fuse box but it wouldn't hurt to look.

If your speedometer has stopped working just put the key in the off position and hold down the trip odometer button until you see some codes come on the odometer. That should reset your speedometer. I could not figure out which fuse was for the speedometer and some one told me about this and it worked right away.
The mega fuse for a Ford Taurus is in the fuse panel on the passenger side under the hood. It is a factory specific fuse and will have to come from a Ford dealer.
The defrost fuse on the 99 Ford Taurus is located in the interior fuse box. It is in the number 26 slot.
The fuse for the headlights on a 1998 Ford Taurus is found in the engine compartment fuse box. The fuse will be in slot 22.
The speedometer is wired to a VSS. If it has failed then the unit will need to be replaced. Odometer and trip meter are wired into the same fuse and should be checked. If the fuse is blown the odometers will not work.
