Default Speedometer problem

My speedometer stopped working, everything else works. It actually works sometimes, most of the time it would be stuck between 20-30. My cruise control works, my engine light never came on, and I have already changed the speed sensor. Is there anything else that I should look into?

check that the speedometer cable is plugged in all the way behind the gauge cluster and all the way in your speed sensor, if you have an electrical speed sensor then disregard everything i just said.

your going to have to give us a little more info like the year, if it's a 5th gen it's most likely the speedo unit bad since the cruise works and the engine light isin't on. it's a common problem with the 5th gen thats the reason I switched to a 6th gen gauge cluster...

yeah, I have a Honda accord 94 ex automatic. Well the engine light will go on if there is a problem, I mean it works. The only thing I heard that if the engine light goes on, and im having a problem wiht the speedometer, that means I have a bad speed sensor. I'm pretty sure it's not because my cruise control works. What do you mean 5th gen and 6th gen? How do I find out what mine is.

you have a 5th gen 94-97 and those speedometers are known to fail... we replace quite a few of them here, the 90-93's had a problem with the electronic speedsensor going bad.
