Dash units where a recall on most buick lasabre's.
I just replace one on a 2004.
My guess is to go to a savage yard an get a use one.
They sell for about $25 bucks.
They are very easy to change

My speedometer was stopped working, It was reading 40 mph when I was going around 65. Than it dropped to 0.
After I turned off ignition everything now works.

Sounds as if it may be an instrument cluster issue. Check the plug at the cluster, if it is ok then travel to your nearest GM dealer and ask them to see if there is a software update addressing your issue. They will likely charge you a diagnostic fee, but it will be cheaper than throwing parts at it in the long run.

The problem is the crankshaft sensor for sure. It is mounted behind the crankshaft pulley which is pretty difficult to get off as you need a special puller. A shop should charge about 1.5 hours for this job. It is a very common problem.

Yes it's on the right side othe transmission just above the passenger side cv axle. You most likley need to send the cluster off and have it checked. Model Electronics in NY.

Speedometer stopped working.

The speed sensors will not fix it. This is something that these cars will do in hot weather. The instrument cluster need to be removed and the contacts from the printed circuit to the connector need to be cleaned. Over time they will lose contact and affect the fuel gauge or speedometer. You may have to replace the speedo cluster. Sometimes if you hit the dash just above the fuel gauge it will start working too. Been there done that, fixed mine as the printed circuit was coming apart at the harness connector.

2004 Buick LeSabre speedometer not working properly. Registers too slow if at all. Is there a sensor in the dash? Cruise control works fine.

Possible ground wire fault with dash board unit. If it is a cable operated spedo, the cable end (small square cap) may be rounding off on one end.
