Default Speedometer Issues

Newby here, inherited my Mothers 1992 Cherokee 4.0 auto. Intermittently when I start driving the speedometer does not work. So far it has started working after two blocks to a couple of miles. Any ideas on what is happening?

Check the connection at the vehicle speed sensor on the left side of the transfercase tail housing. The connector has a pretty weak locking tab and can allow the plug to come loose.

Thank you. I will check it as soon as the snow is off the driveway.
