If it has a speed sensor it is mounted in the side of the transmission where the speedo cable would have been.

You may also have lights on dash for engine, TCS and ABS. I had to replace the electronic control brake module (EBCM). New $2000 Cdn, used-$300 for my 2000 Caterra Sport. Also you can have it repaired at modulemasters.com for $160 US.

Fuses would be the place to start, then check for loose ground straps/wires

Speedometer bounces from current speed down to zero (where it sometimes sticks)
It won't be a cable, as it's impossible for a cable driven speedo to perform this way.
It's an electronic speedo.

Check and/or replace the speedo sensor in the gearbox housing.

Speedometer and Odometer not working
you will have to check to see if the connection is a cable or electronic sensor. If it is a cable loosen the end by the transmission and check to see if it is broken or if the end is stripped if so replace the cable. If it is a sensor you might have to change the speed sensor. good luck

I don't think that year still used cables did it? Aren't both of them a wonder of electricity and so they are both electronic now?

Were is the speed sensor located?
Wheel sensor use a magnetic pickup at the wheel.

The transmission has a VSS or Vehicle Speed Sensor installed on the area where the speedometer cable, gear usually is.

Speedometer Driven Gear REMOVAL & INSTALLATION NOTE: The 1992-95 S20 transaxle uses an electronic Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) and therefore the following procedure does not apply to it. Fig. 1: Speedometer driven gear assembly removal - GV and GW series transaxles 86837018.gif
  1. Raise the vehicle and safely support it with jackstands.
  2. Remove the 10mm bolts and the holder plate.
  3. Remove the speedometer gear holder.
  4. Remove the driven gear from the holder. To install:
  5. Replace the driven gear if worn or damaged.
  6. Install the driven gear to the gear holder.
  7. Install a new O-ring to the holder and lubricate it with oil.
  8. Install the assembly in the transaxle aligning the slot with the holder plate.
  9. Tighten the bolts to 9 ft. lbs. (12 Nm).

My 1996 Honda Odometer stopped running, It is currently at 164999 and won't go any further Both the distance meter and odometer don't move
You just have a bad vehicle speed sensor, has three wire's going to it, sit on top of transmission between transmission and fire wall on top of transmission, held on with a 10mm bolt.Depending if it's manual or automatic transmission the part will cost any where between $70.00 and $160.00.Hope this was very helpful.

Car speedo & odometer sometimes work OK, other times not at all.
Most likely a speed sensor is going bad (most cars and truck do not use mechanical speedometer cables anymore) most sensors are located near the differential in rwd cars or near the drive shaft on the transmission. Best bet is to get a Haynes manual for your car to help locate the speed sensor. Remove it and take it to the auto parts store so you can visually compare it to the replacement. Install the new speed sensor and it should restore your speedometer and odometer.

Speedomerter and odometer are not working
You have a bad "speed sensor". It's located in the transmission. Your speedometer and odometer are not cable controlled, they are electronically controlled by your speed sensor.
