Speed Sensor

My speedometer needle drops down to zero while driving, then jumps back up, wiggles around a while, then acts normally for a while. Speed Sensor? Is this in the rear axle? Plug and Play?

Thanks

Yes, you are correct. I replaced it today, it is an" ABS Wheel Sensor"
my speedo is smooth and accurate, and as an added bonus, my ABS light is no longer on, and my brakes feel like they should, finally.

I asked the parts guy for a "speed sensor" and I got something that I believe is for the cruise control. I never found it on my van, so I did some research and found the ABS Wheel Sensor was what I needed.

Thanks
