guages not working

I just purchased a 94 Bonny for my daughter and the speedometer, odometer, trip set and cruise control do not work. I was told it might be the speed sensor. Is this an accurate assumption? If so, where is the speed sensor located?
Thanks!

The gauges dont work at all or do they stutter a little bit?

The gauges do not work at all.

does the tach and fuel guages work, or is it just the speedo and odometer tht don't work? if it's just the speedo and odo not working then the VSS is the problem. It is located in the transmission, near where the passenger side axle shaft goes into it.

The tach and fuel guage works fine. So I take it it's not an easy job to change it (i.e., the tranny has to come out). Thanks for the info.

no, it's actually a simple job. It's mounted on the ouside of the trans.

Thanks richtazz. I appreciate the info and will post the fix as soon as I work on it.

Well nothing worked...I put in a new instrument cluster and a new VSS and the speedometer, odometer, trip set and cruise control still doesn't work.

I'm at my wits end...HELP!!! http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/screwy.gif

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do next?

Thanks!
