Default 02 Civic EX Speedometer stopped working?

Like Title says my speedometer stopped working..miles and everything? RPM still works no fuses are popped if thats even an option?.. everything else seems to work.

Kinda sucks b/c the car is waiting in germany im about to redeploy back there in a week and my buddy who has been holding onto just informs me that it didnt pass inspection. I would love to be able to just fix it when i get back instead of getting raped by the euro at the Honda dealership there.

Fairly easy, the hard part would be getting to the sensor.

sorry i didnt see earlier where you said that no fuses were blown but thats not always the case.sometimes you cant see that the fuse is blown, meaning there not always blown at the top of the horseshoe sometimes they blow at the bottom of one of the legs.so double check the fuse to make sure that it is not blown at the bottom of one of the legs
