Why is my 1993 Mustang speedometer not working?

[v8ismyheart]

Hey everyone, hoping someone here can help me out. My ‘93 Mustang’s speedometer just quit on me without any warning. It’s not throwing any check engine lights or codes, so I’m a bit stumped. Could it be a mechanical issue with the speedo cable, or is it more likely something electrical, like a sensor or wiring problem?

 I’ve heard the older models can be tricky with this kind of stuff, but I’d really like to avoid guessing my speed and getting a ticket 😂. Anyone else run into this? What should I be checking first, and any tips on how to fix it?
