the speedometer on my 2002 hyundai sonata does not work but the car drives fine with no problem.  
  
 i changed the vehicle speed sensor and it did not solve the problem; also i changed the instruments cluster and still the speedometer will not work.  
  
 can anybody tell me what the problem might be?

Did you use a voltage tester on the fuse circuit, key on? Peacefrog is right. Looking at the fuse is only half of it. You need to check voltage on the circuit.
