i was driving and my speed guage was working just fine then all of a sudden it went crazy it just stopped working. and its throwing a code. what would the problem be. i checked the speed senor and it was fine would it be a fuse or something like that. plz help!!!!!!!

 

pull out the harness at the speed sensor and clean it or maybe just push it back in

 

If it stopped working all to gether the the coil on the back of the gauge could be off. First clean out the speed sensor and then check the guage. There is no fuse to the speedo or speed sonsor, so that isn't it.

what he said
good luck

 

do speed sensors ever go bad

 

^yes i've seen a few go bad before, but its not all that common

 

ill chec the connections on the back og the cluster and the tranny.it wouldnt be anything else would it.

 

Has it stopped working at all? If so then check and clean your connections at the speed sensor and back of cluster. If still nothing, then pull the guage and sheck the coil. If the coil is good and attached, then try replacing the speed sensor. For a speed sensor to go is pretty uncommon, but I have seen it before. Check all of these in that order and get back to us after you do it .

 

checked all that out and still not working it looks like the connector to the speed sensor is corodid.so i think its the plug to the speed sensor

Yes! If you have to replace your VSS try to do it yourself. Costs me $400+ to have them replace mine, and my **** still doesn't work. If it ever quits raining I'm going to pull my cluster over spring break to see if everything is in the cluster good and tight. What can you clean the VSS with? Would TB cleaner work, or would that jack it up?

 

I DONT think it is the speed sensor it. i think its the connector to teh speed sensor
