Have you checked for codes?

Make sure the wires for the VSS are good and not chaffed anywhere and make sure all connections between the VSS and speedo are good.

I would also check and make sure you don't have an o2 sensor wire grounded somewhere.

One time one of my o2 sensor wires melted to the header and cause all kinds of crazy problems..alt wouldn't charge but was good, tachometer and speedo wouldn't work and I had a code for the ELD which is built into the engine bay fuse box. Found and fixed the melted o2 wire, reset the ECU and everything was good.
