Default speedo not working

I have a 1992 dodge caravan with the 3.3 motor. The speedo is not working but all other gauges work fine. I changed the speed sensor, but tat didnt work, so i tried replacing the cluster with one from a salvage yard and that didnt work either.
Any help would be appreciated......

Thanks
Rob

I replaced the two prong speed sensor, does anyone thing it could be the other speed sensor? the 3 prong one?

well i found out what it was..........................

turns out that the previous owner / owners ?? thought it was in their best interest to unplug the wire from the speedo gear / sensor on the trans. Only way i know this was the clips on it were broken off and upon inspection, the connectors on both the speedo gear and the wire going to it were corroded.
I cleaned of the corrosion and put it back together and it worked!
just pisses me off i replaced the input and output sneosrs and now i got this extra cluster that i bought thinking the original one was at fault.
what makes me even more mad is that this van probably has more miles on it then the odometer says

oh well she is back up and running good.....

Sounds like they were trying to keep their miles low before selling it.
