Wierd. That happened to me on an explorer same year range. I am not sure if the speedo didn't work because I never drove it, but the windshield wipers crapped out and the motor was whining.

The cause: I knocked off a ground wire while fixing the TB.

What did it turn out to be?

Just a miss understanging between my and my dad. He pulled a fuse for the dome light to keep from coming on. I thought he siad he checked the fuses. Put a new fuse in and everything worked. Oh well the truck didnt get an mil for about 2wks sense the speedo wasnt working!

Check the wirings and the fuses. It's difficult to drive without the wipers especially on some weather conditions. Did you bring it already to some mechanic?
