Speedometer/Odometer broken Chevy Silverado

[Zach Turner]

Hello all, this is my first post.

About my truck:
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab
V8 5.3L
Automatic

My grandpa gave me this truck about 4 years ago and the speedometer wasn’t working then. He bought it new and said it went out at some point after that. He thinks it’s something with the servo that controls the dial arm. It doesn’t read anything, it just stays at zero.

Almost half a year ago my odometer stopped working at 124879. (It’s a digital odometer).

All of the other dials on the dashboard work, at least it seems like they do.

I’ve checked the fuses and to my untrained eye they look fine. After some research I decided to replace the vehicle speed sensor on the transmission, hoping it might fix both. However, nothing happened.

Any idea what could be wrong? Suggestions as to the next cheapest repair would be appreciated.
