Default Speedo and Odometer not working

I just got a 94 ex coupe and the speedometer and odometer are the only things on the car that do not work. I started looking around some forums and all i could find is to check for corrosion, get a new VSS, check my fuse box, or look for some wires under my intake to see if they had been rubbed bare. If anyone knows the exact problem please help me out so i dont spend useless money.

Buy a factory service manual. You're going to need it.

Got a loose nut caught up in your speedo.

Make sure to remove it when no one is around, would be really embarassing to see a loose nut hanging out...... not to mention... disgusting...

Youve named every possible issue that could be wrong with your speedo and odometer... Start checking.. we can't do that part for you. I had the same issue on a 95 dx, did everything and finally changed the cluster out to a newer one and it worked! Luckily I needed one with a Tach anyways so it worked out for me eventually. But like said, grab a manual, and start checking each of the problems you listed and go from there.

He hasn't posted in here since the 13th, he either got it or doesn't care, and I was right anyway.
