speedo not workin need to do emissions!

once every month it might work for a few miles than it will die. its mostly dead and wont move. its the stock speedo and the tranny is a t56 with the sgi converter box. when i connect my laptop and use EBL the whatsup display shows my speed so i know the ecm is receiving signal from the sgi box but i have no idea how to fix the speedo any clues? the speedo and odometer dont move

it has to be a the wire from the box to your gauge. Theres something interupting the signal somehow. Corrosion, oil, break in the wire or cut or pinch. Thats the only thing I can think it is
