If you're asking about the 97 F-150 listed in your profile....it's operated by the vehicle speed sensor.

bokker,
I think the speed sensor is mounted near the rear of the transmission. I believe it is round and sticks into the transmission and provides a voltage pulse to the computer.
Maybe you have a loose connection or mounting bolt.

Best of luck. Let us know what you find.

Thanks.
