Speedometer not working.

Speedometer not working.
I did a quick search and found nothing close to my problem. Then again it was a quick search. Anyway, here is my problem,
I just got my truck today (finally) and I go to take it for a spin. Come to find out, the speedo doesnt work. All the other guages work though. So I had come to the conclusion that a wire came loose on the cluster, so I plugged in my handy-dandy scangauge to see if that would read it. And yep, you guessed it, no worky-worky. So is there something I overlooked? I am not a car guy in any way. I just know how to drive them and fix little problems that require no more than WD-40 and chewing gum.
Oh, and does anyone know how to turn on the dad-gum fog lights? I cant find a switch anywhere.
Thanks

You can also open the large square electrical connector under the truck directly below the driver seat. One center bolt holds it together. This connector has a habit of filling with water causing the terminals inside to corrode.
Chances are about 99% that your dead speedo was caused by one of those two.
