My spedometer stopped working, so I ordered and replaced the vss to no avail. A multimeter revealed no voltage to the vss. Where and how do I check and repair this?

OK the VSS doesn't have much to do with the operation of the speedo. It is controled by the PCM with help from the speedo drive coil and step motor. If you want to dig into it deeper then let me know but you will need a digital multi meter and maybe a scan tool. Let me know what you want to do.
