could it still be the VSS?
I will do a overhaul on the rear end, don´t think it been don lately....
Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate it!!

Chances are it is your VSS that is giving you trouble. The VSS provided both a mechanical output to drive the odometer as well as an electric output to drive the speedometer and control the tranny. The VSS is a double function device and you will need to replace it as a unit (can't be repaired). As I said above it is located in the tail end of your transfer case.

if you trans is not shifting right and your tach is not working that is the problem computer needs engine speed input.. its your tach sensor on top of the engine by the oil fill... two wires to it I think a 1" hex on it..

Short of that the next possible explaination would be some "ground" problems that are causing your problems. Make sure you got good battery ground, engine ground and body ground connections.
If you can get yourself a OBD-I scanner, ($30 at Wall Mart, not sure how you could get one in Finland) do a scan on the transmission and see what codes are comming up.

I did a resistance test and it showed 2500 (read on the forum that it should be around 2400 - 3000)
OD light is not flashing it is just not possible to turn on or off...while the tach is dead
could it still be a bad ground eventhough everything works as normal once the tach start working
about a scanner...went to our local motorcraft dealer today and they didnt have one...dont know if wall mart ship overseas
appreciate all the help!

Send me an Email today with your shipping address and as long as I get it before tomorrow night I will courier you my scanner and Code Book. Unfortunately, I am away for two weeks after tomorrow so I would have to know all the shipping information before then.
