Speedo and odometer quit

Both the speedometer and the odometer quit working. The speedo does nothing and the odo is blank. Tach and all other gauges appear to be normal. Also, the interior dome light and cargo light quit working at around the same time (dont work with the door or headlight switch). The third break light still works though. I will check where the dome light mounts, sometimes the screws come loose, and the bulbs. I dont know where to begin with the other issues though Thanks

You have a blown fuse. Located in the fuse panel on the driver's side of the dash. I don't remember the exact one but you may look in your Owner's Manual.

Thanks, I will check the fuses today. It would be nice if it was that simple.

Well, its not the fuses. Is the VSS on the rear axle? Is it something that could be broken off in the woods? The truck was in the woods getting firewood before this happened, but it wasnt at exactly the same time.

If this is on your `95 then the VSS is on the top of the rear diff housing. There is a wiring pigtail goes from it to the drivers side frame rail. Wiring maybe got snagged.
