IROC Speedometer - Loose Wire or Defective?

89 IROC Speedometer not working.
Fuel, Temp, RMP, & Bat gauges work fine tho.
What wire do I check to see if it can b fixed or if a new one is needed?
Dont wanna take it apart till I know what Im lookin for...

Any ideas ?

The speedo head in an 89 Camaro is cable-driven. The cable itself may be the culprit. You'll have to jerk the cluster at some point. Check the following link for other issues.

Thanks for the info! Lots of details.
Now that I have somewhat of a "guide", I will pull it apart this weekend & Ill post the results. Doesn't seem to complicated.
Thanks again...
