Interior problem
1985 Ford Thunderbird V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 85 Ford T-Bird with digital dash. The speedometer stopped working first and then the odometer stopped working afterwards. I just replaced the speed sensor; but the speedometer/odometer still does not work. All the other indicators still work though. Before the malfunctions, I did do some work behind the instrument cluster to get the gear adjuster-Park, Neutral, Drive, etc. to line up correctly. Do you have any idea what is wrong?
