Your problem is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). No idea why you would think it was the cluster or have anything to do with the ABS! Just take it to a professional.
The most common reasons a Ford Explorer Sport Trac speedometer isn't working are the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), a faulty speedometer, or an electrical issue. Search our network of RepairPal Certified shops near you to speak with a technician about your issue. The rear wiper may stop working.
You're better of to simply purchase a new speedo. There are places that can replace the face in your speeometer but this work is expensive. The service is primarily for restoring antique speedometers. Just buy a new speedo.
I've had a similar problem with my '94 prizm. I had to replace the instrument cluster about seven or eight years ago because the speedometer quit working. After replacing with a used instrument cluster it's been working fine till now. However, the problem is back again....so I'm looking for another used one. There is definately a weakness in this speedometer design when the mileage on the car gets high. Your problem is different since you replaced both the sensor and the speedometer and it still doesn't work. Chances are, you got a speedometer that didn't work to begin with. I would try another used one.
Since the speeometer is electronic and gets it's "pulses" from the transmission, it stops whenever the transmission stops turning inside. Now, if one got into a situation in which he applied the rear brake hard enough to lock the rear wheel thereby causing the engine to stall, the speeometer would stop at that moment even if the bike didn't. This is my opinion.
rlane104, if you disconnect the wire that hooks up to the sensor but leave the power hooked up. Then turn the key to on and look at the speedometer. If it moves all the way over to the other side and back or some movement, then the speedometer works. If it doesn't, then you have a bad speedometer. Check all your fuses and there should not be an inline fuse. Maybe if its an external or aftermarket, then there might be a fuse in the unit itself. But, recheck all your connections.
It's possible that you have a bad spped sensor which is located on the transmisson, this would cause the speeometer to stop working and a ck engine light to go on. You would have to have a diagnostics test done to determine the engine trouble code.
