Looking for info about speed sensor for a 1992 3/4 ton van 5.8L w/ AOD trans. Starts and drives... doesn't shift well and the odometer/ speedometer quit working at the same time. Looked at trans cannot find speed sensor. Their is a blank plug in tailcone of trans where I thought speed sensor would be. Any info would be appreciated.

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Use the actual vehicle wiring and service information to identify the speed-signal path and test where the signal is lost before replacing another sensor.

Guidance references and applicability

Discussion summary

1992 Ford Club Van odometer Died

A 1992 Ford Club Van developed poor shifting when its speedometer and odometer stopped working. The owner could not locate a transmission speed sensor and later replaced the rear-axle ABS sensor without improvement.

Reported outcome: The rear-axle sensor replacement did not resolve the complaint; no later repair was reported.

The discussion did not establish the correct sensor arrangement or identify a failed instrument cluster or transmission.
