92 Camry Speedo Not Working

1992 V6 LE Camry speedometer stopped working, also cruise control stopped at the same time. I removed the sensor on the top of the transaxle (this car is a 5 SP) and tested it. It failed the test and I replaced it with a new one from the dealer. The speedo is still not working-ugh! Did I waste $400.00 ? BTW the car has 400,000+ kilometers on it.

Isn't there a mechanical speedometer drive CABLE in there?

No, just a wire connected between speedo and speed sensor

I'm not positive on your particular setup but almost all speedos and cruise controls are electric controlled. Is it possible the speed sensor took a fuse out when it went? Are you sure you got a good connection on the plug and did you use dielectric grease on it? Some sensors ground through the mounting and require a good cleaning on the mounting surface. Some models use two speed sensors, one for ECU and another for speedo/cruise. On an OBDI system both sensors could be out without causing a fault code. HTH, davidj92
