It's called different things by different manufacturers but if the computer is not getting a signal from the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) you will get all of the symptoms that you described. fuses loose in their sockets seem to cause all kinds of problems, wiggle fuses while driving and if things start working shim the fuse blades with foil

1989 F150 4.9What if the speedometer does not work and you have replaced the speed sensor and checked fuses Any suggstions?

if i remember correctly they did not start using an electronic speedometer in f150's till 1992 so your vehicle should still have a mechanical speedometer which has a cable ran down to your transmission. the sensor on the rear differential on those models is an abs sensor on 92 and later its the abs and speed sensor.

What is wrong when speedometer doesn't work and the transmission doesn't shift in a 2004 impala?

Replace your speedometer sensor. I just had mine replaced in my '04 Impala. The sensor tells the tranny when to shift. It's located right in front of the transmission.


What part needs to be replaced for a 1989 Nissan Sentra when the odometer and speedometer are not working?

Most of the time, the speedometer cable breaks, and you replace it. The best way to find out, is to unscrew it from the transmission, and see if you can pull the cable out from the casing. If it checks out to be good, then it will be the drive gear inside the transmission, or the speedometer itself.


If speedometer not working 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 told speed sensor bad Replaced but speedometer still not working Speed sensor is magnetic type not wheel type?

There is an "ABS Differential Sensor" on top of the rear differential that controls your speedometer. Napa part number UP 530778 or UP 530846. take the old one in with you to make sure you get the right one. i believe there are 2 pin and 3 pin versions. FYI, the one you replaced on the transmission is for the powertrain control module. that's the one monitored to set your shift points, and i believe, to determine weather you are at a safe speed to shift in and out of 4wd.

What would cause a 1991 Mazda Protege to have a blinking hold light and a non-functional speedometer?

The speedometer cable (which runs from the transmission to the dashboard) has snapped. This is a two-piece cable, and the one-piece cable in later Proteges will not work. I had the transmission replaced, and the cable could never be fit in properly. This is a mechanical speedometer, so you would have to change the entire speedometer part of the instrument panel to use a magnetic/electronic speedometer.


Why would 1997 Ford Taurus speedometer stop working and now your car will not accelerate?

Had the same problem off and on in my 1999 Taurus. The speedometer needs to be replaced. The problem is in the speedometer and not the transmission like I was initially led to believe. My mechanic said it wasn't that big of a repair.Coincidentally, the vehicle speed sensor feeds information to both the speedometer and the transmission....See "Related Questions" below for more

What could be the problem on a 1993 Honda Civic VX If the speedometer odometer intermittently works and you have replaced the speed sensor on the transmission?

The cable that controls the speedometer needs to be replaced more than likely. That is what had to be done to a Dodge Stealth's speedometer to work properly. ==New Answer == Actually - there is no speedometer/odometer cable on a 1993 Honda. The system is all-electrical. So it has to be either a bad wiring harness/plug connector, OR a bad speedometer head (unlikely).
