check the windshield washer motor like on the 2007 ford explorer and expedition and most pickup's.
The VSS vehicle speed sensor on top of the transmission is faulty.
The VSS is for 1997 and older Rangers. 1998 and newer Rangers are not equipped with a VSS type system. The vehicle speed information comes from the antilock brake system rear wheel speed sensor according to the Haynes repair manual.
Goes from the VSS to the ECM. Find the VSS, and you can trace it from there.
The VSS in a 2001 Ford Escape is located on the left rear side of the transmission. There is only about an inch of it that can be seen.
The vss is on top of the trans-axle, behind the engine on the passenger side.
on the top of the differential
Replace the VSS and wires.
Screwed into the rear of the transmission housing.
normally its the yellow/red wire. you can find it underthe hood in the wire harness right above your fan.
I remove the VSS, and fill with 3.5 qts of fluid(syn preferably), then reinstall the vss...
