It's not too tough. a couple of multi-connector plugs need to be accessed from underneath. then there are several screws in the front and the actual speedo cable from the back. after you get everything loose it's a little tricky to get the whole assembly out and around the steering column, but it is negotiable. Good Luck
The gauge is part of the instument cluster ( the part with the speedometer ).The gauge is part of the instument cluster ( the part with the speedometer ).
To change the speedometer backlight in a 1996 Honda Passport, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Remove the dashboard cover by unscrewing any screws and gently prying it off. Next, take out the instrument cluster by unscrewing it, then locate the burnt-out bulb behind the speedometer. Replace the bulb with a new one, reassemble the cluster and dashboard, and reconnect the battery.

In a 1996 Chevy Silverado, the speedometer itself does not have a dedicated fuse. However, the instrument cluster, which includes the speedometer, is powered by the vehicle's electrical system and may share fuses with other components. If the speedometer is not functioning, it's advisable to check the fuses for the instrument cluster or related systems. Additionally, issues could stem from a faulty speed sensor or wiring problems.

You need to disconnect the cable from the transaxel. Then you pull out your dash cluster. Remove clip from speedometer cable then just pull it out. Reverse for installation.
The speedometer is electric, there is no cable. There is a speed sensor on the transmission that sends a signal to the PCM, which in turn sends a signal to the instrument cluster to display speed.
It depends on the year and options. Which year model are you asking about? On the 1996-2000 cluster, there's a light between the tach and speedometer for the cruise control (if equipped).
May have replaced the wrong sensor or you have a bad wire in that curcuit. gm Jim
If both the speedometer and the odometer do not work I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) located on the tail shaft of the transmission is at fault. If only the speedometer doesn't work it's probably a problem with the dash cluster.
