How are your fuses? There are sometimes problems where a circuit will short to ground, and I think those instruments are both on the same power source.

GVS, I had this problem a few years ago on my '99 Explorer. I changed a transmission speed sensor a fixed the problem.

Yeah, if the fuses are ok, most likely a speed sensor.
