I don't know for sure whether the 96 has an electronic or cable driven speedo. But check around the area where the front differential dipstick is. On the cable driven speedos, there's a base piece that fails, and causes the speedo not to work.

 

The VSS2, which gives you your speed in the dash and to the ECU is typically driven from the front differential.

Found it! On a 96 Legacy LS AWD AT, the VSS is located on the passenger side of the tranny, just rearward of the shift cable. Now replacing it is a different story.
