    Hello and welcome to the site. If your odometer is still working, then your speedometer has died. This was a fairly common problem on the S-10's and sonoma's. you need to replace your cluster. you can get them off ebay pretty cheap. Here's a link to one I just found for $69 plus shipping:

    Hope this helps

    Could be a short in the cluster, or just by some chance the cluster may have been close to death when the speed sensor went out, then after it was replaced, the cluster worked for a bit, then died.
