    eek. speedometer died

    the other night driving home from work, my speedo started bouncing between 30 and 0. 30 is the speed i usually set the cruise at because of the tranny probs i'm having. yesterday on the way to the grocery store it worked till about half-way and then stopped working. today i swapped in the speedo i originally had. not working either. all the idiot lights work, and both my temp and fuel gauges work. i'm baffled. if it was an older box, i'd say the speedo cable, but its a 90, so everything is electronic. the only thing that i did in the past 3-4 days was avoid some idiot that tried coming into my lane so to speak. i was turning right, and he was turning to his left(we were facing each other and going the same direction) he was making the fucking turn like a mack truck. when i looked, he was on his cell phone and had a cup of coffee in his hand, so rather than get hit i mashed the gas and made my turn. well, as i finished the turn it felt like the back end drivers side took a massive, massive dip. pulled into the gas station and looked it over. everything looked ok, nothing was drooping or anything, but after i left the gas station and set the cruise is when it the speedo started to bounce about. any ideas?

        pulled the codes and no vss code. is it possible it died and is not throwing codes? it was mentioned that if the vss was at fault, it would show a code.

        thanks for the help everyone!
