Speedo/Odometer broken- car drives fine though

I'm backkkkkkkkkk..... I bought another Camry. This time a 94 two door. I get in it today and the speedo and odometer dont work. The car shifts and drives fine. Any ideas? Is there a speedo cable or speed sensor? Maybe the cluster is dead? All other gauges are fine thanks in advance

The speedometer is electric. There is a speed sensor on top of the differential housing. Looks something like the item at the link below:

I have the same problem, but my temp. gauge and windows don't work. When I turn the key in the ignition, the opening sequence on the instrument cluster doesn't come on. Besides that, the car drives fine.
