Replace it.......its one bolt on the side of the transmission.....
I have a 99 ranger 4x4 you might be surprised that you dont have a vss ! Instead look on your rear axel . its your abs sensor, or also called, rear speed sensor!
I believe starting on the 1996 Explorer , it went to an electronic speedometer with a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) so it doesn't have a conventional speedometer cable
on the top of the differential
The vehicle speed sensor is mounted on the transmission, but on 2000 and later models the VSS is combined with the rear axle sensor located on top of the differential. The powertrain control module uses the sensor input signal for several different engine and transmission control functions. The VSS signal also drives the speedometer on the instrument panel.
check the windshield washer motor like on the 2007 ford explorer and expedition and most pickup's.
I believe it was 1996 that the Explorers started using an electronic speedometer with a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) Since then the Explorers have not had a conventional speedometer cable
The VSS is located on the transmission tailshaft extension housing
The VSS (Speed Sensor)is on top of the differential housing.
The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is located on the transmission. If the speedometer is not working, it is rarely the VSS causing the problem. I would first check fuses and the ECU
You have a bad Vss Sensor.............. The vehicle speed sensor.
Actually , it doesn't have a conventional speedometer cable , it has an electronic speedometer and a vehicle speed sensor ( VSS ) according to my Haynes repair manual
According to my Haynes repair manual, 1996 and later models do not use a conventional speedometer cable. They use an electronic speedometer and a vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
