There is no cable they are electronic. Check on the side of the tcase there should be a vehicle speed sensor there that has a 3 wire connector. Check to make sure it is connected properly and not a dirty connection. Also some times the nut that holds the vss on will loosen up and the speedo will quit working also.

I had the lil piece of square stock that drives the gear round off and cause it not to work also.

A sacrificial allen wrench that was ground square got it going again....
