Well, that's the right one..... are you getting any codes for it?

May wanna verify it's getting its 5 volt feed from the PCM.

i don't think these have a 5v signal. just 2 wires. 1 is ground and the other goes to speedometer, pcm and DRL. if the speedo is not working and you have no overdrive i would assume you may have a bad ground or possibly a damaged wire somewhere between the sensor and the speedo and pcm. you can test things with a multi meter.

if the one has 5v to it then make sure the other one has a good ground. if thing still don't work there is a good chance something may be broken in the speedo head.
