speedometer stopped working
I have not driven the truck much lately. I just took it out and and the speedometer is not working. The odometer is working and everything else seems fine. I looked in the OM for the correct fuse but it did not list one that said speedometer.....does anyone know what fuse it might be.
some history
I did remove the cluster for bulb replacement about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was working after I put it back but I am not positive. I alos went to the carwash about the same tiem and sprayed underneith to get the salt off. I have repalced the Vss/abs twice in 3 years, however when the vss failed in the past both times the speedo was erratic, the abs light would come on and off and I got a clicking noise from the dash.......I don't have any of those issues now..........thanks

thanks Rockledge I just went out and swapped out #25, no change. I am recalling when I took the cluster out I unnecessarily pulled the plastic cover off. I think I had the cluster upside down with the speedometer hitting the table... I am wondering if I damaged it.......any thoughts? if that is the case how would I fix it?
*I know the vss can give out all kinds of symptoms, but I thought if that was bad I would have more than just the speedo issue, as I said the odometer is working along with everything else!
