Speedometer connection under dash? FIXED

This afternoon, I replaced my pedal box. I had a difficult time getting the old one out and the new one in. Sometime during that mess, I must have messed up the speedo connection under the dash. When I put everything together, all of it works except all of a sudden, my speed and odometer are dead. Is there a connector I could have bumped or damaged under there? I can follow a signal and am pretty good with wiring. I’m just hoping there’s an easy way out before I start chasing wires. Thanks!!


edit - turns out, it was the other speedometer fuse. My fuse panel says speedometer for fuses 8 and 18. Number 8 was burned.

If the Speedo works after changing the fuse, then the moral of this story is to disconnect both batteries before messing with electronic controls.
