Speedometer and odometer don't work

Is there a fuse I can check?


Everything else on the cluster works.

I just replaced the starter today, maybe I pulled out a sensor or something while I was under the hood.
Where is the speed sensor located?

The wiring for the speed sensor is right there clipped to the motor mount.

The sensor itself is behind the starter, mounted on the tranny.

Go back and inspect both of these.
