Default 95 Civic Speedo works part time only

My 95 civic's speedo only works part of the time. For no reason it will work, then next time I look down it won't be working. I don't have to hit a bump or anything, just suddenly it will or won't be working. Also while it isn't working the cruise control still works? With that being said I've pretty much eliminated the speed sensor being bad...and that's where I'm stuck!! Any ideas?? I've pulled out the instrument cluster and checked all the connections best I could but still nothing. Does anyone have a wiring diagram pic or link so I could check the speedo wires themselves with an ohmometer?? Thanks a lot for any help!!

Not always true. Happened to me at least twice...and no CEL.
