Need a Spot
Sorry if this has been posted before. I did a quick search and found allot on speedo cables. Anyways I have a 94 ext cab v6 3.0L w/ an electronic speedometer.
My speedometer stopped working and I get a code of i believe 42, vehicle speed sensor. Where is it located? On the tail, transfer case, or (?)? Is there anyway to check and see if this is the problem before I buy a new one? Oh ya, the cruise control stopped also. Does the vss control the cruise control?

Thanks

It is screwed to the t-case, near the rear output flange, passenger side of the case usually. Has wires attached to it.

I imagine there is a testing procedure in the Factory Service Manual, see the '93 link at the top of this forum. Nor sure if that covers the electronic speedo or not.

The sensor and gear assembly were both bad.
My cruise control works again!

Speedometer sensor part# 8318135051
Gear sub-assy, speed part# 3340339315 (this is a 20 tooth gear)

Make sure you give the parts person your v.i.n., to make sure you get the correct gear. They told me that my truck should not have a 20 tooth, until they entered my v.i.n.

I figured I would post an update, even though I fixed it about 7 months ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
