Most of the time the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) sends signal to the computer, which in turn tells the speedo/odo what to read. Your best bet will be to have it put on a scanner to see if the PCM (computer) is getting the signal from the VSS, then we can go from there, might not be a problem with the instruments, but need to be sure the other end is working first
