Question Keep blowing speed sensor fuse...........

My old mans 97 psd with auto keeps blowing the speed sensor fuse. Speedometer will quit workin and the tranny starts shifting irratic and real hard. Sometimes when he replaces it it blows immediatly and other times it will last for a while until it blows again. Any Ideas. It started doing it rightbefore the tranny went out and now is still doing it with the new tranny. The shop that put in the new tranny said the checked out the steering coulmn and nothing looked bad their. Any input would be welcomed and thanks in advance!

Check the ENTIRE wiring for the transmission. There has to be a short or chafed through area somewhere.

Have you checked the speed sensor itself? Top of rear Diff, only about 25 bucks to change.
