Did you check to see if it's connected behind the gauge cluster?

Yea, that cable is annoyingly easy to disconnect, especially if you're working in that area. I managed to disconnect it while changing my fuel filter.

Pull the dash apart. I'm betting the cable has come free behind the speedo.

Yeah, that happened to me once. I took some black duct tape and wrapped it around that sucker and the rubber boot in the firewall, so it won't come loose again. So far so good.
