Default Speedometer stopped working!!!

I ned an inspection today and this is going to make me fail.

I need some help quick. it worked. I disconnected the center consol gauge cluster above the radio and reconnected it, now it doesnt work. i rechecked it, everything is hooked up fine. still doesnt work.

I was thinking maybe this effected the odometer somehow so t needs to be dealer reset...

Its probably a fuse. Check them all (under hood too).

while it is important that your speedo works, I am pretty sure that it wont cause you to fail a safety inspection. Didn't fail my eclipse when the speed sensor went out but then again that was in Missouri so I am not sure how TX is different.. just throwing that out there

Here's the kicker, I need an inspectin sticker. I could borrow a friend's gps so i know my speed but i'll get pulled over without an inspection sticker. I have the best luck ever with getting pulled over lol.

i may take you up on that though.
