speedometer won't work at all.

This is a 98 F150 extended cab. The speedometer, odometer and cruise control suddenly quite working. Is there a sensor, fuse or cable that could be the culprit? It has just over 100000 miles on it.

Yes, there probably is, but you'll need to provide more specifics about your vehicle.....

did you have recall 05S28. Description: Speed Control Deactivation Switch completed ( think your MY truck was on the list ) ?

The speedo is a manual item with a cable if I am not mistaken ( gear driven item that is usually changed when larger tires are installed ), so it could be you have 2 different problems at the same time.
