Probably a problem in the speed sensor circuit. Have the codes read first to get a starting point.

I advised you to read codes, not replace parts.

That's what I meant to say...speedy...not speedy...typo. Just curious though, does the instrument cluster have to be (synced) to the old one..
I know some cars do...even though neither worked. Still will take advice and have vehicle coded.

No they should work no problem, can you check the drive gear to the sensor?

Here is what the drive gear looks like that Ken was referring to. Having the codes first though would tell us if we are even in the right area.
