It's electronic. If memory serves, it's driven by the rear ABS sensor (but not directly; the signal is processed by the ABS controller)

Speedometer is driven by a sensor on the differential AFAIK. There's a gear in the housing (ratio of which corresponds to wheel size) that drives something like this for an RPM output electrical signal:

A diagram I looked at does show the output from that going through the ABS module before making it to the speedo.

I'd say 99% chance it's the sensor in the rear axle. This happened to me a few times in different vehicles. It's a $10 part and 5 minutes to fix. Unplug, unbolt, replace, bolt in, plug in.

It's on the top of the axle above the driveshaft.
