One method to checking if the speedometer sensor in the vehicle is working is to simply remove it from the housing and attaching the main wires to a volt meter and set it to AC settings. This will allow the technician, or vehicle owner, to determine if the sensor is functional by the frequency emitted, at which point it can be determined if the device is functioning properly or not.

Where is the cable in the speedometer on a 1997 Plymouth neon?

It doesn't have one. It uses a speed sensor and drives the speedometer electrically. If your speedometer isn't working, it could be the sensor or it could be broken solder points on the instrument cluster circuit board.

1997 dodge neon speedometer not working?

Could be the speed sensor or another common problem with neons is broken solder points on the instrument cluster circuit board. To test it, see if your cruise control can keep you at speed. If so, it's the instrument cluster. If not could be the speed sensor. If you don't have cruise, then you may have to inspect the cluster for broken solder points.
