Default Odometer - Not working

I have a 2007 HD Softail Deluxe and noticed that the odometer is not working . The speedometer, turn signals work and no issues stalling. When the bike is turned on the following code is viewed from the odometer window "No LHL" and the after 10 seconds or so it goes "hhhhh". Any ideas? Odometer bad? Can the odometer be sent to a repair facility? Or new unit in my future. Thanks.

Codes loop from "No LHL" and after 10 seconds or so it goes "hhhhh", I think the odometer is bad.

I would try unplugging it and replugging it just in case a pin connector has corrosion. Be sure to eyeball connector and pins. Run back down the line for damage. Piggyback stuff should be temporarily removed if you have it and if possible. Are you saying it's reading hhhhh or making a noise? Do the youtube how to diagnostic error codes and check. Be sure it flashes SP for the speedometer.

The first will be PPSPT. You press and release reset to go from P (ECM) S (TSM/TSSM) SP (Speedometer) T (Tac)

To be clear, I removed the speedometer from the bezel, checked the wiring it looks good placed contact spray in connectors, removed the main fuse waited about 15 minutes when I reinserted the main fuse the LED odometer reads the following "No LHL" and after about 10 seconds or so it goes to "hhhhh". If I depress the trip button nothing happens.

Guess it's telling you what is wrong but I can't find LHL. What does it do if you put key to accessories side and hold button?

Does the motorcycle have a factory original USA speedometer?
Is it the original speedometer from when it left the factory?
When did this problem start?
How long has motorcycle been owned?
Any history information on motorcycle available. crashed? rebuilt? salvage parts?
If blinkers cancel after movement is detected and it is recording speed then it kinda/sorta reads like a security error but that would be a guess.

I am the original owner of the bike purchased in 2007. The bike has 33K miles never been in an accident. The problem was first noticed this past Saturday. I checked the VSS today continuity is good the speedometer works fine no issue with turn indicators or stalling issues. I too do not see any information
