The most common cause is a faulty speed sensor on the transmission.

Hello Johnholley
I am wondering do you hear the fuel pump when you just turn the key into the on run position not crank just in run and listen and see if you hear the fuel pump run for a second, If you don't hear it you will want to check for power at the fuel tank, and have some one cycle the key while your under the truck with a test light. Hopefully you have power and you hear the fuel pump run. Now if you do hear the fuel pump running then the next thing you will want to check is for spark, It could be the ignition module or pickup coil. check out those thing and I am sure you will be able to figure out whats going on. If you don't get back to me and we can try a few other methods. I sure hope that helps you out johnholley. and thanks for using Fix Ya Bear001

Have somebody check for trouble codes.Look for possible speed sensor codes.The speed sensor is a input to both trans and abs.

Just changed ignition switch in 1995 Chevy Silverado 4x4, shift indicator light won't come on. Rpm and speedometer not working therefore transmission not shifting correctly. ????????

All of those problems happen with a bad ignition switch so you must have bought a bad one from auto zone or you connected it wrong.Did you change the ignition switch or the key cylinder in the steering column because there is a difference?The ignition switch supplies power to the fuses.

My1998 toyota tacoma,while driving it the transmission started slipping. I pulled over shut it of then cranked it back up and it never would shift out of first gear and the speedometer wasn't working.....

Well, since the transmission control module uses input from the vehicle speed sensor to know when to shift gears, and the speedometer also uses the signal from the vehicle speed sensor to know what speed to display on your instrument cluster, I would say that there is a pretty good chance that they are related.
