Default 1996 Honda Accord V6 Speedometer quit working

I have a 1996 Honda Accord V6 that the speedometer recently quit working on and the cruise control hasn't worked for several years. In looking through online troubleshooting for this issues it all points to the VSS. I replaced the VSS and it didn't do anything. Any other ideas of the problem here?

Is Check Engine Light on? If yes, get the code from autozone, et al.

If not, a faulty gauge panel or wiring fault is the problem.

good luck

I know on the 95-97 v6 the tach gets signal from the ignition coil but that doesn't really help you. The speedo went out on mine right before I got rid of it but I never fixed it. My thoughts were that mine was the cluster itself because my cruise still worked. I had researched that if the cruise didnt work it was the vss, But you replaced your vss so I am a bit stumped here. The only thing I can think to tell you to do is pull the cluster and either send it off to a speedo repair shop or buy a used one on eBay. Non-working speedos are not an easy DIY from what I have researched in the past...
