Yeah, you can do it in your driveway. The VSS is just one bolt and it comes out with a lil wiggling.

It's probably either the cluster of the VSS, though yeah, a bad contact can do it as well. Spray some contact cleaner on the plug ends and work it in there good.

i had the same problem if cleaner dont fix it check the plug real closely and make sure that all the prongs are still in there mine the middle one broke out and had never been taken off before.. i guess water sat in there and corroded it

correct me if im wrong...the vss is located around the transmisson...?
