VSS
Ok. I replaced my VSS about a month ago or so. I had no speedometer, O/D light was blinking ABS light was on and the transmission was shifting at high RPMs plus I had a lot of dead rev after each time I let off the fuel paddle and got back on (like let off the fuel coming down a hill or just slowing for an intersection) I'd have to rev up to about 2500 RPMs to get it into gear. After I replaced the VSS it all got better. Well Saturday it happened again. All of it! So I hightailed it down to napa got another one replaced it again but this time it didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks -Z

Also check your harness. I changed the VSS on a 94 E350 mtr Home and had similar issues. Started peeling back the harness and had sh---y connections from a previous repair. Replaced the pigtail and redid conntions and problem went away.
Hope this helps
Good Luck

Thanks a lot guys. I'll do both but this time I'll go with Motorcraft. Is there a way I can check the connections before replacing them? I did see some cables exposed while I was under there but they didn't look broken. Of course they could be damaged where I couldn't see. Will a multimeter o the trick? That pig tail looked a little beat up but it fit well onto the VSS. Sorry my mind has been going around in circles for the past couple of days... -Z
