Another Speedometer issue...

I left the blk shell on and unscrewed the gray plastic plug from the blk shell which the 3 wires go through. I used tweezers and tugged each wire and they seemed attached to the motherboard. I shined a light in there and all looked ok. So I removed my tank and cked all 3 wires at the first male/female connection from the speed sensor. Red and blk were ok, no pulse signal on the green. Ive spoken to JP Cycles and a few other HD guys and they are saying its the speed sensor. I have 75,500 miles. What do yall think? Will a cleaning be enough or should I r&r the sensor?
Anyone have the part number handy ('05 Ridgeback)?
Thank you.
I will look for the part number for the speed sensor, why not remove it clean it and check the wiring from the sensor ? Could be a bad wire causing it to intermittently work. You will need a 6 speed sensor

I have read several of the posts on the speedometer and I haven't been able to find my exact problem addressed, if it is here, I can't find it. Anyway, I have an '08 Pitbull and the only issue I am having, and have been having for a while is that the speedometer is only working intermittently. And that is the best way I can describe it, sometimes it works fine, and sometimes it doesn't, it really seems as if there is a loose wire somewhere. I rode it to work several days this week, and I almost ordered a new Dakota Digital, but then lo and behold this morning on the way to work it started working fine. And then, on the way home it started acting up. So, when I got home I pulled the speedometer out of it's housing just to see if anything jumped out at me and everything looks fine. I'm having zero issues with the tach ring and other indicators. I plugged the speedo back up, just to see what it will do and turned the switch on and zilch, nothing. I have power to the speedo (12.6 volts) with the switch on, I'm guessing it's time to just go ahead and order one. I'm just not crazy about digital anything, I'm old school analog all the way. I guess I just needed to vent a little, get it out of my system. But, if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks!
Mine does the same. Not very excited about the dakota either.. I thought I fixed it when located a broken wire(nope) then I bought two BDM speeds and then a autometer still crap.. Old-school frustration...
