Doublecheck it with an electrical tester, or just pull the fuse and look at it. Don't assume that because you sometimes get a speedo reading, that the fuse is good. When my fuse was blown, my speedo would work on really hot days, or when I'd been driving around town for a while and the car was warmed up. Maybe the heat allowed the spark t jump the gap in the blown fuse, who knows, but I went through 3 batteries and 2 alternators before I realized it was the fuse.
