Gain access to the buffer which looks like this:

It’s located behind the instrument panel at the right.
Connect an audio amplifier to terminal A yellow wire to make sure it’s getting a steady signal.
Ground to ground, the signal wire to terminal A yellow wire of the VSS.
With the car on jackstands listed for a hum from the amplifier when the rear wheels are rotating.
If you do, then find out if you get a hum from terminal C tan wire.
The tan wire then goes to the speedometer unit.
If it gets to the speedometer but the speedometer does not work, have it repaired or replace the unit.
