I got in her today and replaced the air filter and took it for a drive. As soon as I get going I notice that the speedo isn't working. Later the odometer goes blank and it gives me a check engine soon light, and the traction control button stays lit. It get it back home and take the negative side of the battery off for a couple min and the odometer comes back and the check engine light goes away, but the speedo still doesnt work. All that I have done to her recently is change the steering wheel (maybe a connection that I missed??) and changed the air filter. The battery has been dead for a couple weeks (my son left the passenger side door open without me knowing). I have had to jump it a couple times and today was the first time I was able to drive it and try and recharge it.

Any idea what is going on?

Have the alternator tested. I've seen bad alternators do strange things...

Battery could just be bad. THe VSS could be bad as well. I am sure WMBurns will be here eventually to point you in the right direction here too.

Yea, he chimes in and has a wealth of knowledge, as well as diagrams and the Ford service manual steps to solving extremely difficult issues.
