1994 VSS Questions
Chasing an issue with my ABS light and an erratic speedometer... From some searching and a quick post, it sounds like my VSS is the culprit. The suggestion was made to remove and clean, which I will try, but in the long run it's probably time for a replacement. So, two new questions:
1.) How/what do you clean this thing with? Is it just some electrical contacts, ie shoot it with contact cleaner and glob on a little dielectric grease and give it another go?
2.) NAPA can't seem to find a VSS for my 1994 that is rear-axle mounted; they keep wanting to give me one that fits on the transmission... Has anyone got a valid part number for a 1994 VSS?

The part # is: F85Z-2L373-AC (This is actually considered an ABS sensor)
Bought mine here: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...?siteid=214072 , but by the time you pay shipping you might be $$$ ahead to go to dealer for it. ($18.19 + $9.50 shipping +7.9%tax -VS- 25.27 +7.9%tax)
Before replacing this part though, I drained and cleaned the rear axle. It improved funtion of sensor some, but was still problematic. Wipe grunge off of sensor and exciter ring inside axle. I use lithium or die electric grease on wire connection to sensor (location of sensor is subject to harsh conditions).

Ken
