Exclamation Speedometer not working?

Fellas, need some help here and ANY hints, tips, leads would be appreciated....

This is on my Cadillac CTS-V (2005 LS6)
My speedometer is not working.
A little background: I busted my clock spring several months back when I did headers which disabled my steering controls and wouldn't allow me to switch to the digital reading speedometer on the dash. The regular speedometer was and has been working this whole time. Now that I've taken off the supercharger, crank pulley, headers etc and put everything back to stock the speedometer doesn't work. My tuner can't find anything wrong, no errors either. I did a search and found this problem when people messed with the transmission, but I haven't gone near the tranny (VSS Sensor).

Is there a VSS fuse anywhere? I checked but couldn't find anything.
Anything in the engine bay that controls speed? I checked the RPM wire but that's ok.
I did suspension work, could I have damaged a hub sensor wire?

Not sure what to check here
