Speedo cuts out. I checked the sticky for usual fixes, still nothing.

1997 Ranger XLT 4.0L

Here's the problem:

When I first start the truck in the morning, speedometer and odometer work fine for a while - sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for almost an hour. Then, suddenly, they both stop working and don't resume until the next day. The same thing happens every day.

I changed the VSS on the t-case and the ABS sensor on the rear diff and the problem persists.

I thought maybe something's overheating, but the truck sits about the same amount of time when I'm asleep as when I'm at work, yet the speedometer only works in the morning and NOT when I leave work.

Any ideas as to the possible cause would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, fellas.

Update:

It was a bad gauge cluster circuit board. I took another one out of a junk yard, replaced the gauges with the ones from my truck and it works. So if your speedo doesn't work and you've already replaced the sensors, try that.
