Spedometer issue

I replaced the speed sensor and still no go. Before I replace the gauges, I want to test the signal going into the gauges to see if it's something inbetween the sensor and the gauges. Does anybody know what terminals I should test on the plugs that go into the gauges? And what kind of voltage I should be seeing?

I wish I new! My speedo is fine and the odometer is dead (almost 99% but it's a long story). You'd need an oscylloscope because it's not just DC.

The instrument cluster is most likely your problem....check the classifieds section for a used one....

I had this problem... if you take your guage cluster out and put connection stuff under all of the screws on the back and then tighten all of the screws then it just might start working. I had like one slightly loose screw and it made the speedo stop working.

Been there done that. Cluster swap does not work. I am not stupid, usually when I am saying it is a weird problem - it indeed is weird
