Speedo Jumping

Speedo started jumping out of nowhere Friday. Everything fine, made a stop and after restart, it started messing up.
Found a post about a similar problem where the member had to change the PSOM.
Do you guys think this could be it or should I pull the sensor and start there? My cruise is also not working? Can this be related?
The 3rd brake lite is working.

When mine was jumping it was a bad spot in the wiring from the frame to the VSS...

I will start at the vss and check everything. Was cold, cold last week, lots of snow. Went thru some deep snow drifts, so I thought maybe a wiring issue or the snow may have pulled on a wire to loosen it.
Thanks
Any thoughts on the cruise?

Also might try cleaning the VSS...it gets covered in crud and makes things jump around.
