Unhappy Stupid speedometer

Well as I was going to take my husband lunch tonight my speedometer quit working. Everything else seems fine the other gauges are working fine. It was reading 6mph off for a little while but then it was fine. Now its just not working. I am fixing to leave on Vacation in 3 weeks and I just want to get this fixed... Is this something I can fix myself. I know how to do alot of things to my car so I can fix it myself if need be. All the posts I am finding have something to do with the ABS but there are no lights on the panel saying that it might be that....

since you have no codes, you could either have a bad cluster, bad rear wheel speed sensor, or bad wheel bearing. It'll take an enhanced scanner to fix this issue, you might have to visit the dealer or shop with the right equipment so you don't wind up replacing unnecessary parts.

pretty much any Chrylser Enhanced Scanner that cost about $1000+, it is not worth it to buy those equipment unless you are a mechanic. And it doesn't fix the problem, it only tells you what's wrong with the car. It is A LOT cheaper to pay someone who has the tool to tell you what's wrong with your car instead.

You can view the Live data of the Computer regarding Wheel speed, and target speedo needle position, etc... with them.
