PSOM help

I have a 1992 F250. The speedometer/odometer were not working so I replaced the PSOM. The new one did not work either. The fuses in the dash are good. I checked the plug and I have volts in pin 4 and 5 of the connector. What could cause the PSOM to not work. Nothing works on it. The LCD screen is blank and the speedometer needle stays at 0

Battery power is on pin 1( LT green/yellow wire) through fuse #8
Key power is on pin 3 (White/purple wire) through fuse #18
Ground is on pin 2 (pink/orange wire)

Pins 4 and 5 are the VSS(speed sensor) and should not have any DC voltages on it(its AC from the VSS).

Best recheck the fuses, fuse #8 also goes to the dome light and that does short out from heat melting plastic mounts blowing fuse #8 and then the PSOM is dead.

As two PSOMs are not powering up . Recheck the power feed pins I listed above. If they check good, then check the ground wire to the PSOM.

Please clarify this statement.
Should be zero volts with the truck not moving.
Should be 3.5 volts AC @ 30MPH.
Or
Should be 667 Hz @ 30MPH.
