As above!Cloggy Saint wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 11:44 amHave you checked the plug and wiring on the diff? This is the usual culprit for a failed speedo.
Most pins on the green plug at the back of the cluster are a speed signal out of the instrument cluster, and feeds various optional extras, such as cruise control or speed controlled radio volume.

Wires to the speedo sensor in the diff are pin 8 (brown wire) and pin 12 (brown/red) of the white instrument cluster plug. The speedo. sensor itself is a simple on/off switch that operates several times per turn of the rear wheels.
