Speedo cable

Ok so my speedo has been broken since I got my car. I checked the conection into the tranny and the connection behind the cluster, both were in. I removed the cable from the back of the cluster and took it for a spin. I'm not sure, but if the cable was working ok, I would see the little tab inside moving, right? Well I didn't see it moving. Does this just sound like a broken cable? And do I have to go to the dealer to get a new one?

not sure if it is broken but if worst comes to worst, go to the wrecker

maybe the cluster needle is broke

i dunno if its the cluster. the needle thing on the inside of the speedo cable doesnt move at all. so im thinking its the cable?

if you took your cluster off and drove, but the wire still didnt move, then either your cable is broken or the speedo sensor is broken

I had this same problem last summer, and I know this isnt going to help at all, but all I did was unplug it and re-plug it in like 10 times, and blew in the hole, and wiped off the end of the cable. I feel like such a retard now, doing those things, but you know, it worked. I dont know why, but for some reason, I plugged it in that last time, and it worked right there. It was so funny...
