The instrument cluster and tail lights are on the same fuse. Check the fuses by using a test light attached to ground touch the point of the test light to the exposed metal on the back of the fuse. There are two points on each fuse. If you get to a fuse that only has power on one of the two points then that fuse is bad. Also could be a bad switch.
We had the same problem with our 94 DX. It turned out to be a bad connection in the instrument cluster connector to harness connector . Try hitting the top of the dash while driving when the speedometer is not working and see if it starts to work while you're hitting the dash . If it does , you probably have the same problem we did . I pulled the instrument cluster and disconnected the harness and I bent the connector terminals with a small screwdriver so it would make a better connection . It worked .
If all the connection and power supplies to instrument cluster are ok,I suspect that the speedometer or instrument cluster is faulty but before you replace it, make sure the gear inside the transmission that drives the VSS is in good.
I had a similar problem a few months ago. I changed the speedometer sensor as well as the instrument cluster with no result. Finally I decided to take out my ECU. As soon as I took it apart, I noticed a burnt node. Replaced the ECU and the speedo worked fine. You might try this if tinkering with your cluster doesn't work.
there are two reasonable explanations for this: vehicle speed sensor is faulty and speedo cable is faulty and bulbs for illumination or illumination switch is faulty but I would lean with all of those its your gauge cluster or gauge cluster itself has gone out both of these arent that expensive heres some places where you can get cheap replacements www.ebay.com www.godspeedmotorsportsonline.com peach street auto 18003652341
