Default speedometer doesnt work, just replaced the sensor

Hi

I have a 01 sporty. i was driving the other day and the speedo quit on me. i just replaced the sensor last year. i have less than 2k on the new sensor. i also noticed i had the d02 cod on. so i took the sensor out and cleaned to and still had nothing. i checked all the wires and the connections that i could see and everthing looks good. i took a test light and see if i had power at the connection under the seat and i didnt get nothing. any ideas what it is? is there any sort of fuse or connection in between the connection under the seat and the speedometer? i dont think the sensor would go that quick but i dont know.. any thoughts

Check your fuses they should be somewhere around your battery I know mine are on my '08 1200N. After that since you have checked the sensor I'm not sure you may want to have the speedometer checked out it may have just taken a dive on you...
