I would be thinking that the speed sensor is faulty, you can try cleaning the terminals of the plug with an electrical terminal cleaner, you can get this at any parts store, if that does not help I would consider replacing the sensor.

May be a cluster or wiring problem, a cracked circuit board or a dry solder joint may be a problem.
