Go to the back of the car and look under it in the middle, right in the middle of the two wheels you will see a squarish lump of metal, with two "driveshafts" connecting it to the wheels.

On the back of the Differential (diff) there are two big allen (hex) bolts and a rubber "plug type thing" with a wire coming from it. Thats the speedo sensor.

Clean all the contacts and make sure all the wiring is intact.

Before you do this make sure the fuse has not blown.
