Speedometer works by the way.So I took off the connector from the amp. Put my red lead on the green and white. Black lead on the orange and yellow. Put the voltmeter on ac, ran the car in 2nd on jackstands and got a big zero on the voltmeter. Where should I go from here?
Thanks. At This moment it appears that it was bad from when it was brand new. But I will check it in a minute. Do you have any tips on how to get the sensor back in. The first time I tried it to put it back in the drive gear on the tail shaft moved and I had to pull the trans to fix it.You may have either a wiring issue or the VSS has failed. The next step is to remove the VSS from the tailhousing and set the multimeter up to read off of it while you spin it by hand or with a drill. If it still reads zero then it
I'd test right at the trans harness first. Closer to the sensor will help rule out field wiring issue first. If it were to fail there, then I would test the sensor itself. You can also buy a lead online, unplug the sensor, and connect wired to this and run it up.
You can find these pigtails sometimes at parts stores for cheaper
The speedo gear should not normally move just from inserting the VSS. The clip should hold it firmly in place.
is that trans harness under the drivers seat?Speedometer is mechanical. The VSS has no function there.
SInce that first test signals a failed VSS, I would back-up that test by probing a different location. I would test in the transmission harness that comes in from under the car. The harness runs under the driver's seat, and over to the driver's kick panel. Inside, you'll find a gray 8-pin connector that should have the same wire colors in it. You can test at this location.
If it fails there, I would pull the VSS off completely and test it like steve said.
I found it down in there. Looks like 0 on there too. I’ll give this a shot here in a bit.I had a spare VSS so I tried this out. Plugged in a harness end and set my DMM to 20v ac. I was able to spin up to 10 volts
The connector is broken but all the way on. I’m thinking I cut it off then check it directly on the sensor.If you don’t have it at the kick panel connection, the issue lies in that harness. I would just verify you had a good connection
Cruse*So today was the first time I got to drive it at speeds above 20. Kruse definitely works now. Appreciate all the help.
