My speedometer does not work. I change VSS, but the needle for the speedometer still on 0. Everything else works fine.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com There are two different speed sensors on this vehicle. There is an output speed sensor and a Turbine shaft speed sensor. The sensor which controls the speedometer is the output speed sensor. I attached a picture for you to confirm the correct one was replaced.

Let me know which one.

Take care,
Joe
