Rear ABS Module VSS Speedometer
My speedometer was not functioning properly at highway speed. After replacing the VSS I decided to unplug the RABS module. Its been disconnected for two weeks now and the speedometer works great.
I picked up a used module on Ebay for only a couple bucks. Its from a 95 as well, but has a slightly different part number and the case is plastic. Mine has a metal case.
I installed the one I got from Ebay, but havent driven the truck yet. I'm wondering if it will cause issues. How many different modules are there and what is interchangable?

Well, I tried the new used module tonight and it was only slightly better than the original one. I guess I am going to buy a remanufactured one. I wish I could find a new one.
What is it about this module that causes an erratic speedo? Also, If I get a remanufactured one and the problem is still there what should I look at?

I have a nearly new PSOM. It also did it with my old one. I hope thats not the case. I have a low mileage mint condition Lightning instrument cluster. I'm not saying your not right, but I don't really see how that could be.
With the new used RABS module the speedo issue is not as pronounced but begins at a lower speed.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...gear-e40d.html Ok I was wrong. Read the first post by subford in this link.
Seems like your second RABS module is also bad.
As far as getting a new ECM is concerned I think rockauto.com has them.

Thanks for the link. I should have done a more thorough search. As always Subford comes through with great info.
I guess I'll be getting a new remanufactured ABS unit. Maybe Rock Auto has a new one.
