Mine quit a couple of years ago and like Andy says it was the VSS sensor on the top of the rearend.. Napa has the sensor..(they call it a ABS sensor) P/N 530780 for around $12.. easy to replace..

When my VSS went out not only did the speedo stop working but I had a constant ABS warning light and the OD Off light was flashing.
Another thing that happens is the VSS gets wear metals attached to it and in some cases when cleaned off the speedo starts working again.

Thanks for the responces it was the speed sensor I guess I blew it loose with the pressure washer the other day. I pushed the connector back on tight and its working.
