92 Sable VSS

Anybody know where the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is located on a 92 Mercury Sable 3.8L V-6. I know it's on the transaxle........I was hoping someone could tell me specifically where it's located on the transaxle.

The car has a digital instrument cluster and yesterday the speedometer stopped working. The transmission now shifts funny and the trip computer is going whacky. If I disconnect the battery for about a half an hour, the speedo comes back for a few miles and then quits again.........

The VSS is not an expensive item and I don't mind changing it; I'm just having a hard time finding it!
Thanks,
Phil

1999 Ford Ranger Heater Core Test??

U

unclejack on Mar 26, 2007

Hello, I'm guessing I need a new heater core! I have a wet passenger floor and a smell of antifreeze within the cab. Is their any way I can test the heater core to be positive that this is the problem? Can I have a cooling pressure test done? Would that find a small leak in the heater core? I'm guessing it must be small because it has been going on for probably 6 months now and I only need to add about a quart of antifreeze to the radiator. I just wanna be positive it is the heater core, as the labor for this job is like 8 hours according to the local garage. Also, is their anyway I could have done anything to damage my heater core by flushing the coolant system? I had checked the coolant and noticed it was brown. I bought a Prestone do-it-yourself flush kit and flushed and replaced the coolant last fall. Any help is greatly appreciated as usual!! Thanks in advance! Jack

A tip about VW lug studs

N

nightowlpunk on Mar 15, 2007

NEVER use a 3/4 drive breaker bar to tighten the lug studs on a VW. They will break. Did my front brakes today and broke two studs. Luckily a local nationwide chain was able to take out the 2 broken studs and replaced them for $40 plus tax. Thank goodness!!! It drove me nuts driving 20 mph.
