There can be as many as 6 speed sensors, so which speed sensor are we talking about? There are 4 speed sensors, one at each wheel, if we have antilock brakes. There is a output shaft speed sensor on the output shaft housing of the transmission on the passenger's side of the car, down behind the engine, and there is a turbine speed sensor on the body of the transmission over on the driver's side.
On the transmission.
The speedometer is driven by the vehicle speed sensor. See "Related Questions" below for more about where to find it, and how to replace one.
Inside transmission
Sounds like you have a bad Vehicle Speed Sensor.
A speed sensor on a 1998 Mercury Tracer is located on the transmission housing of the vehicle. It is placed on top in a secure location to safely measure the speed the transaxle spins.
on the transmission
The speed sensor on a 2008 Mercury Sable is typically located on the transmission. Specifically, it can be found on the side of the transmission housing, near the output shaft. To access it, you may need to raise the vehicle and remove any obstructions, such as the air intake duct or other components, for better visibility and access. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location and replacement instructions.
The sensor will either screw in or have a bolt holding it. Disconnect the wiring plug then unscrew or remove the bolt to change.

On a 2002 Mercury Sable, sensors are located in various key areas including the engine compartment, where you'll find the coolant temperature sensor and mass airflow sensor. The vehicle also has oxygen sensors located in the exhaust system, both upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. Additionally, other sensors like the wheel speed sensors are situated at each wheel for the anti-lock braking system. Other sensors may include those for the airbag system and the transmission.
AnswerYes, that and more. See "Related Questions" below for extensive coverage of replacing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), including links to photos.
