SPEEDO/MILEOMETER NOT WORKING

My Speedo and Mileometer have both stopped working I have removed the wheel and dust cap and also removed the cable from the clocks, When you twist the cable at the wheels the cable at the clocks still turns too, Why would the speedo/mileometer not be working Any ideas anyone ..........................
