If its not the fuse, it will be the VSS (vehicle speed sensor)

Right on top of the axle housing, also called the ABS sensor

You sure the fuse is good? Do your interior lights/warning buzzer still work?

If its not the fuses then check the wiring for frayed wires, but i'd double check that VSS is working, good way to test is with a multimeter and the sensor should be within 190-250 ohms
