Speedo not working

While driving home today in the snow I noticed my speedometer is sitting at 0 while cruising. Everything else on the gauge works fine. Is there an easy way to verify it's the stepper motor vs the speed sensor? Or could it be something else entirely? It's an 08 5.3 4x4. Thanks

If you have a scanner can it do a "live" showing? My scanner is an Innova 3160 and something I have seen on it is the current speed. Since it is reading the speed it leads me to think the stepper motor has gone out again. I have replaced the stepper motor twice on my '04 for my speedo and it has gone out again. Now I just use my garmin gps as a speedo and with it sitting up on the dash I don't need to take my eyes off the road to see my speed. I purchased a "heads-up" display through amazon, but it didn't work. I had to pay shipping back to hong-kong (not kidding either) and still am awaiting my refund since december.

I do have HP tuners so I could see if that works?
