vss sensor replacement
f350 3x4 short bed extended cab 99 83k
help please.... the gremlens have me firmly in thier grasp..
2 weeks ago the water pump grrrr
now the speedo not working and the abs stayed on... two off on cycles cleared that and when cleared then the overdrive off started blinking away and would not engage/disengae...
seems from other posts it might be the vss sensor that is on top of the differential.....
I know how to drive them..... I know how to tow with them....
PLEASE ...can someone give me a how to in very very very simple terms to replace this 26 dollar part...
I looked and saw what has to be a sensor on the top toward the front of the rear dif... it has wires out the top and I can swivel it in the dif...
Does it just pop out? I saw not screws or bolts/.... How would this be removed... specifics please...
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Here is how to change the sensor:
Unplug the wiring from the sensor. Remove the bolt holding the sensor down. This bolt also keeps the sensor from swiveling in the hole. Pull the sensor out.
If you are missing the bolt that could be part of your problem.
