1992 300ZX Speedometer Inoperative

1992 300ZX ( non turbo )

The only item on the cluster that does not work is the speedometer. Just quit one day.
Any suggestions on what to test. What is a common problem???? This will give me an idea on what to start testing.

Thanks in advance

Usually it's the connection to the speed sensor, as the wiring from the gear unit is out in the weather under the car and can rot through if exposed.
