Welcome to JustAnswer, my name is XXXXX XXXXX X'm here to help get your problem resolved. The brake lights not working usually means the brake light switch has failed which is located above pedal. You can locate switch, disconnect connector, and use a paperclip or wire to jump orange to light blue wire, this should cause lights to come on. Orange wire should have voltage at all times which comes from 15 amp brake light fuse located under hood. The odometer not working most likely means the instrument cluster/guage assembly has failed which is abotu a $400 job to have replaced/reprogrammed at dealer. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
