"speed" light on dash

i have the speed light on my 88 birds digital dash illuminated and flashing; and my speedometer has been acting up every now and then so im guessing my wheel speed sensor is going out. also is their more than one speed sensor? any insight would be much appeciated!

The pick up is in the tailshaft of the transmission.

You need a new Flux Capacitor.

That's a feature in your car to help stop you from speeding.

Really. I'm serious. There's a button on the lower right of the cluster. You press it at your desired speed, and it will beep and flash the speedo when you go 5MPH over that speed.
