Speedometer does not Work

> My speedometer does not work. What should I check first before removing the speeco itself?

Two things to check:

1. Speedo sensor is on the side of the transaxle. They are known to fall out of the hole they fit in.
2. Four pin connector in the spare tire hole. I had to lightly crimp mine with some needle nose vise grips after disassembly and cleaning.

If you aren't getting any odo or speedo function chances are that it is in the wiring at the back. The power to the speedo head is shared by a bunch of other gauges so if that's the only thing dead I'de bet it's sender related.
