Default Clicking drives me CRAZY!!!

There is a clicking sound that is coming from the dash. it sounds like it is right behind the gauges. it only ticks when the car moves over like 5mph. IDN what it is. Can anyone help. 88 gt hatch.

THANKS

if it got bent, the cable, it would tick, could be something inside the speedometer itself, mine makes a noise and it was bent by the previous owner.
