Default speedo not working

Well my speedo and odometer arent working. I replaced the speed sensor, still doesnt work, swapped in a cluster that I know works, and it still doesnt work.

With the old cluster the speedo would stay at 15, and would sometimes freak out and go all over the place, with the new cluster that I know the speedo works it just stays at zero. Any suggestions? [/align]

So... what WAS the problem?

(From the title, I wondered if the thread was about swim suits.)

It was the cluster itself that was the problem, idiot me just forgot to plug in the VSS so thats why the speedo still didnt work even with the new cluster.
