More than likely you have a bad instrument cluster (very common on these). But the best way to test these is with the proper scan tool. You need to perform a sweep test.

If you are good with working on cars, you can remove the instrument cluster, disassemble it and look for bad solder joints.

If you would rather not mess with it, you can send it to these folks.

Hope this helps!

Could be a few thing's . Hooking up a scan tool an checking for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes would be the first thing to do., viewing speed input data to the PCM - engine computer from the VSS - vehicle speed sensor . Also if the PCM see's this input it outputs this info on the class 2 serial data communication network to the instrument cluster . The instrument cluster has a microprocessor with logic programmed into it , an controls a electric motor to set the speedometer needle . GM had bad Stepper motors in their instrument clusters from 2003 to 2006 .
Does the vehicle shift ok , no running problems ? Any light's lit on the instrument cluster ? check engine etc....

SOURCE: my speedometer stop working

It's a bad stepper motor (the device that operates the needle on the gauge).  Replacements can be found on eBay for approx. $4.95 each - just search for "stepper motor".  Just got 6, to replace all of mine.

I have replaced the thermostat and 2 maxi fuses for the fans in my 2004 Chevy Ventura. Will a weak relay cause the fans to spin slowly?

How slow?There is a low speed fan relay and a high speed fan relay over above the battery in the fuse box.Pop the high speed fan relay cover off and manually push the contacts together as a check that the fans can run fast.May just be a bad ground.

My 2006 kia spectra speedometer is not working wat cud be the problem

2006 kia spectra speedometer not working. Try this, I just did it and it worked. Disconnect both battery cables and touch them together for about 3 seconds, then connect them back to the battery. This causes the main computer to re-load all computer programs. It worked on my kia, speedometer now working. It also worked on my 2004 Chevy Silverado to correct an AC/Heating problem just after installing a new battery. The truck blew hot and cold air at same time with only AC on.
