This week my speed stopped working. i haven't gone through any major mud holes recently either or anything to strenuous. Anyone know how to test it to see what might be wrong? Thanks

Mine stopped working on my rancher 420 because there was water in the connector. Unplugged it, sprayed it in both ends with contact cleaner and put some dielectric grease in it. Hasn't happened since.

Does the display still light up and the hourmeter still work? If so, first try cleaning the connector like Mudmat said. If that doesn't work, the speed sensor is probably bad. I had to replace the one on mine. If the speedometer doesn't light up and the hourmeter doesn't work, then it's not the speed sensor because both will still work when the speed sensor goes out.
