Step 1: make sure cable is all the way home at BOTH ends. If this fails
Step 2 : pull off bottom end and put cordless dril on it.....speedo reads high, success box end is the failure.if not
Step 3: pull off speedo end, if you can't spin it speedo is the failure.
You'll probably find when you get both ends seated properly the problem will be gone

You don't have to take the cluster apart but you do have to pull the cluster out of the dash.

Yea I removed the cluster to swap it over, apparently you don't really need to but I found it easier, I think it would be easier to drop the steering column as I broke the clips on my trying to remove it! Good luck
