almera mk2 speedometer not working

No it has a blank fitted.The ABS seems to be working ,the light in the dash does not come on at all even when you first put your key in the ignition.
The car has 4 speed sensors one for each wheel,how do I test to see if ABS is working,brakes feel fine,no warning light on.
No light comes on at all ,fuses all look ok.Would the clock on LCD display still work if fuse has blown as mileometer not working
It looks ok but I will buy a new one to be sure tommorrow thanks.
I have checked the fuses inside the car and under the bonnet with new ones all ok.I have also noticed that the display has been out before and It does not look like a bulb illuminates the ABS as there is no hole for it to fit in.
Thanks
I have just ordered another instrument display,I'll let you know how I get on.
Fitted new instrument display today still no speedo or abs light comming on with ignition.Would the ABS light stop working because of a faulty sensor ?
Quite the opposite. It's there to inform you of any faults in the ABS system. you could manually test the ABS if you have access to gravel car park. Get up to about 15 or 20 mph and then hit the brakes. You should feel the cadence through the pedal. If all the fuses are ok then check the internal wiring loom for any signs of tampering. I can only imagine why someone would want to disable the speedo/odometer.
It does seem to look like it is a wiring fault as you do feel a judder at harsh braking.I checked the mot history and the mileage has dropped from 3 years ago,but not changed since.It looks like previous owner has tried to fix fault by putting in new display then given up,wiring has been disturbed.It is not a MOT check the speedo working apparently.
Auto electrician has tested wiring says it is ok and can only think of replacing instrument panel.I told him I had already tried this and it did not work.Getting car back today with same fault.
