ehhh, wtf is that supposed to be. I can't tell at all. what color is that light. I would say try looking at the plug that goes into your tranny. If you are a manual i believe its near the rear motor mount. you will most likely have to take the intake/battery out to get to it. See if its loose/damaged/connected..
Also, i doubt this is it but when i was taking my gauges out for one of the milion times i scracthed some of the metal stuff off the back that sent a signal to the gauges. Looks like a circuit, ya know what i mean. Check to see if there are any breaks in those. I used solder to repair mine.

the fourm isnt posting the liitle pic the way im makin it but if you look at the cluster look at the bottom right i beleave low gas is right beside it..
ok i got the speed sensor fixed.the mech didnt push the wires down all the way.but now im hearing something that sounds like a skate board with a bad wheel bearing or somethings close to that comeing from the tranny..when the car is at idle and you rev it up just a little to like 2k then let off the gas thats when you hear it..also yesterday i had the car jacked up where the wheels were off the ground and started it and the wheels started turning and wouldnt stop(the pass was going much faster then the drivers side.is that the norm???

Check the fluid level. Might be low / gone. Sounds like you're describing your example.. bearing noise.

Yeap. Open differential, coupled with tight bearings will do that. Again, check the fluid level. You might be low and causing a baring on the input or output shaft to stick or drag causing power transfer to the wheels when there is no gear selected.

well i checked my fluid and when i pulld the pulg out fluid started comeing out and i stuck my fenger in the hole it was up to or right below the hole..so what else could it be?

well, i had a similar problem. You rev it up a little bit and it makes a terrible vibration noise, right? Well my problem was i didn't torque the bolts to the clutch. They were coming loose and the clutch was slightly vibrating.
