Those speedo transducers are a common culprit.
I think they generate some sort of wave form, so you'd need scope to check it properly. Perhaps a test light or meter could be used to determine if it is flat-out dead or not. No output at all suggesting it is dead, while some sort of output only proves it isn't flat-out dead. Hopefully others will chime in on that.
Sometimes the wires get burned on the exhaust pipe, so there's something to look for.
In the end I'm pretty sure you'll be replacing the transducer
