Please can someone help, I have a "98" Explorer sport which has encountered a speedo fault, It started when the speedo needle bounced about a bit, then it progressed to starting off well then half way through a journey it just failed.
I did some research on Alldata & it said that the VSS Vehicle speed sensor was operated by the rear ABS sensor, so I crawled under the car & found no ABS Sensors on the rear, so whilst under I cleaned up the fronts, Also whilst under I removed & cleaned a sensor located at the rear end of the Gearbox. the next time I drove it the speedo worked all day, then just when I thought that the fault was cured, Yes it failed again.
Please any suggestions.
Many thanks Dan
