Digital speedo does have a sender, typical location is on tranny - tracking magnet imbedded in flywheel.
Sounds like a bad connection or cut in speedo assy pcb foils. Clean all, rewire, resolder all components...

Hey...thanks....my Gas gauge also works intermittently...so yes...there may be a bad foil connection. I have another 85 Max is use for part....so I just may swap out the dash panel....
