The speedometer typically disconnects from the instrument cluster through a speed sensor or cable. In electronic systems, the speed sensor sends data to the instrument cluster via wiring, while in mechanical systems, a cable connects the speedometer to the transmission. If there's a failure or disconnection in this sensor or cable, the speedometer will stop functioning, leading to a loss of speed readings on the instrument cluster. Checking for loose connections or damaged components is essential for troubleshooting.
