Speedometer not working.

You should start by checking the connection. If that's not it, next is to start checking the capacitors and resoldering all the joints on the board.
The stock speedo gets its signal from the ECU, and that is rarely the problem.
In what fashion did your speedo stop working? Does the needle just sit at 0? Does it light up? Does your Odometer still display? Did the problem start suddenly?
If everything works but the speedo, it's probably not a simple fix.

check the speed sensor thats located on the trans. I believe that gets sent to the ECU which in turn sends a signal to the gauges. This would normally set a code though...so it could actually be the speedometer itself. My speedometer recently shorted itself out...replacing the speedo with a used one fixed my problem

did you check to see if the speed sensor is plugged in? I believe it plugs into the main engine harness right above the trans. I imagine it would have fell when you took out the speed sense but I figured its worth mentioning.

if you take off the transmission cover (metal cover on the bottom of the car), you will be able to see the sensor connections on the driver's side of the transmission. Check those first. The speedometer sensor is I believe on the passenger side of the transmission. The wiring should loop over the top of the transmission.

quick question, does the speedsensor go to the speedometer or the ECU first, or both? If the speeedometer was broken and it sent its signal to the ECU then that could also be the cause could it not?, the wiring harness is brand new, so i trust that to be ok.

See page Z-44 of your manual which I know you have there in your garage. On that page you will see the two wires from the Speedo sensor goes directly to the dash CPU area. You will see a series of 5 connectors to check. Then trun to page C1-10 and the manual will spell out an excellent flowchart of the symptom/repair procedure. Rather easy if you ask me.

So did you ever get your speedometer working? Mine just quit. I had an eletrical short just now while I was driving (completely my fault). Everything on my cluster still works except for the speedometer. Now my gauge is pegged full right 190MPH and just sits there. I don't have a problem with my tranny gear as the odometer still works.
