Speedo not working?

and now the speedo isn't working. What causes them to not work?

Mine just stopped working. Checked the VSS and it was ok. Pulled the tailshaft and the plastic gear had cracked apart.

Where is the VSS located and how do you check it?

Is there a way to check the VSS to see if it's working or do you just replace it?
