Default Speedometer and odometer not working

The speedometer and odometer stopped working on my '93 Cab. I have had the instrument gears replaced. Does anyone know how to test an ABS sensor using a multi-meter?

did you just have the gears replaced? Sometimes the plugs come loose and you'll loose a function like that.

Could the sensor be loose or damaged? On my 87 it's on the tranny.

Yes, the gears were recently replaced. Put the cluster back in the car and still nothing.

I pulled each sensor and checked them with an OHM meter. They registered from 1038 to 1069 OHMs. I don't know if ""OHMing" will give an indication as to whether they are good or not.

unplug the connections in the back of the speedo, then plug them back in. Sometimes this works

I tried unplugging and plugging the connectors back in, but still nothing from the speedometer.
