    Speed Sensor mystery

    I had a skittish speedometer for about 5 months that would work about 50% of the time. It would throw a 17 code. Speed Sensor.

    So I just replaced the speed sensor with one from a junkyard. Guess what?....

    It does the same thing!!!

    I've driven it a few times now and it works every now and then. If its not my speed sensor, what could it be? Is there anything else that would affect it before it gets to the speedo head in the dash?

    I'm out of ideas.

    Thanks guys!

    Bad connection? Bad wire? People usually buy ones off ebay and dont have trouble with it. Ive only seen one person that has had trouble with it. Anyway I dont really like to use junkyard sensors sometimes its a hit or miss with them.

      Now its working?...

      Well I drove it a lot today. Took about 6 trips and it worked in all of them after the first few. It seems to be working now.

      We'll see if it lasts.

          there is a wire under the dash in either a brown plug or the green one (they are both next to eachother going up to the dash) the orange wire is the spedo wire....it could of either been cut or having a bad connection. mine got disconnectd
          What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

          You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

              So its worked about 90% of the time now. I'll check any under dash wiring, but I really just dont understand what would cause it to be so finnicky with my old sensor and a new~ish one.

              At any rate there is a helpful writeup on another forum....

                My VSS worked on and off for quite a while before it actually died.. I bought a new one and haven't had any trouble.

                    Possibly...

                    What would you want for it?

                    I'm just suspicious it may be more than a coincidence that I happened to get another speed sensor with the same problems...

                    But I don't doubt that you could be right. I just dont want to keep throwing money at speed sensors, lol.

                    What would they charge for shipping on that sort of thing?

                    BTW, sorry to hear about your car. I know it was a while back, but I just found this site a few weeks ago. I've already run into about 3 of your write-ups and they've been rather useful. THANKS!!!
