Speedometer Stopped Working

On my way to work this morning my speedo stopped working. It just dropped down to 0. Any ideas? or has anyone else experienced this?

Check the sensor on the rear differential.

I bought one, a couple of years ago, for around $20.

I got a picture. Why let it go to waste. There it is right on top of the pumpkin.
One bolt, one connector. That's the swaybar blocking the view.

It took two trips to NAPA, but I got it done. They didn't even have this part #(P/N530780) in their computer. They charged $41 instead of $10.49. It is Ca. after all.The first sensor they sold me looked like it went to the back of the speedo, not the diff. I guess something got lost in translation. ESL.
Thanks guys

You're right Clint. For some reason the man that helped me couldn't find it. When I went back a lady helped me, and she found it right away. My old one had a smooth metal barrel that went inside of the diff. The new one is just like the one in the link that you posted. It went in easy and all is good. Thanks for your help.
