Check cable out of the tranny and back of the cluster
If doesn’t apply check speed sensor but if I recall correctly you should have a cable in it

No speed and no cruise control

im no mechanic but have done my homwork about this car everyone i spoke with said it was the Vehicle speed sensor, but if it was woukldnt the RPM bounce around to and wouldnt the tranny hesitate or not shift right,after i changed the instrument panel clusterand found my problem was still there i disconnected the vss and still found my gauge would still move up and down, telling me that its a voltage short rather then a mechanical problem, i downloaded the electrical diagram and found were all the connectors were, low and behold my problem was located under my glove box it was a loose wire, speedometer and cruise control both work fine nand ow the VSS and Speed cluster were never a problem and there is no cable from dash to vss its all electrical on this 1993 camry LE
