Thank you so much for showing all of this. It’s very helpful for first time DIY’ers. For future soldering, just hold the soldering iron against the wires you’re joining for 3-4sec to make em hot, then press the solder against where the iron meets the wires and it will melt against the iron and wick right into the hot wire in a perfect wrapper instead of hot globs sitting on cold wire
i have an issue with my speedometer not working (i got the same p0500 code on a code reader), and i am blowing gauge fuses. were you also blowing fuses?
Hello was that connector for one of the front wheel abs sensors? I'm struggling to solve an issue with a 2001 7.3. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. I am struggling with the same problem. I need the exact same connector clip you show here in your video. I can’t find it anywhere. Can you please tell me where you bought yours? This video has been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’m sorry I can’t remember the website that I ordered it from....I do remember I searched a lot of sites before I found the matching connector....Sorry ... If I have the time later, I’ll try looking at my statements from 2 years ago to see if I can find the site.....Good luck!
@@maddid2056 Sorry, I checked but I can only look back 1 year on my statement 😡..... If you take a picture of the connector, show it to an auto supply store. They should be able to match it....Good luck!!
Being that the sensor wasn’t technically “plugged in” so to say, was it causing any bogging while idle? I have a speed sensor code, but even when transmission is in park it still bogs very badly. I even replaced the fuel pump cause I thought maybe that was the reason
2007 Toyota Corolla s have the same code P0500. Vehicle speed transmission sensor.. I replaced it . The output one and it's still doing the same thing. Rev high like it's going in neutral when driving . What can I do ? If anyone know please let me know .. my speedometer still works
I've seen a video where cleaning the ABS sensor at each wheel resolved the problem on a Toyota Solara. It may be worth a shot. ua-cam.com/video/xh2QGRZMqlk/v-deo.html I've also seen a video where it was problem in the cluster (odometer housing where there was no signal and needed a repair or replacement on a Tacoma)
@@friedice6535 I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla with the same issue. I've disconnected the speed sensor and the issue was fixed. The speedometer works well.
what if you get a p0500 but your speedo and trip meter all works? That's what I have. Even the lcd digital speedo shows the speed besides the analogue one. cheers
oo0Spyder0oo .... if you have a scanner (if not, you can go to AutoZone and they'll do it for free) try clearing the code to see if it comes back on. If does, check the VSS wiring. A wire could be loose and not making the proper connection to the VSS. Good luck & thanks for watching!
@@beachtroll8344 Yes I have a scanner and that's what showed me the p0500 code. I just thought it wouldn't show the speedo correctly but it seems to work. I reset it once and after a few k's it's come back on, the engine warning symbol blocks the lcd readout. Also my cruise control won't activate, even though it says it's on. I suspect there's a link there as well. I'll see if the wiring is loose or something but I don't get how it relates to the cruise control. Cheers
@@beachtroll8344 I have a 98 Toyota Tercel but can't find the speed sensor location on it and there doesn't seem to be a Haynes or Chilton manual for that year
Hi there, I'm getting the P0500 code, The odometer goes blank but otherwise, no issues driving, idling, etc. Nothing seems wrong with it at all. Any advice?
@@beachtroll8344 If you got Rosin core solder and get an iron that gets hotter you will have better success. I’m not here to bash, but with the right tools, the job is easier. Soldering isn’t hard, set the iron on the bottom of the wire and with Rosin core solder (thin solder), touch the solder to the edge of the soldering iron and the wire… when the solder melts it will apply flux to the wire and as the wire heats up you will be able to put the solder directly on the wire and not the iron, go until the connection is full. It will flow through the wires making a great connection! You’re on the right path, but wrong solder and to weak of an iron. I run my variable iron at 42c x10 (420 degrees C), which is its max.
Great another video without any vehicle information.
Very helpful video, thank you for the explanation on how to fix that problem.
Glad my video helped, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip!
Flux would have made that so much easier not to mention given you nice clean soldering joints that are smooth and strong

Do u nw wireing of Nissan ud tracks speedometer sensor
My VSS wiring is shorted out somewhere in the middle between VSS and ECU. What is the best strategy to find the short?
Quick question. Did you have a symptom for the code to pop up? What is the make and model?
The speedometer & odometer stopped working, and the overdrive dash light was flashing.
It's a 2004Nissan Sentra
Good evening Sir,
Can you please show me where the speed sensor is located on a Subaru foster 2009
While the connector is bad does the vehicle still track mileage internally or will the odometer pick up where it left off when it is reconnected?
It will just pick up where it left off.
@@beachtroll8344 woah, it doesnt track mileage? Is that why my odometer doesnt show mileage on first two digits maybe?
please dont solder by this guid. You have to preheat wire and solder by heated wires not touching the iron.
Hello was that connector for one of the front wheel abs sensors? I'm struggling to solve an issue with a 2001 7.3. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
No , the connector was to the Vehicle Speed Sensor....The wires were loose....Good luck on your repair!
@@beachtroll8344 where is it located ??

Where did you plug it in though!
You can’t cut the heat shrink tubing to fit?
no it was titanium, tungsten, vibranium alloy shrink tube so no scissors could cut through it.
You CAN take that connector apart and pull the pins out and replace just the pins & wiring, or solder new wire to it that way. The pins DO come out
You helped me.
I subbed you.
Similar problem.
Glad my video helped....Thanks!
Hey man do you have a email or some way of contacting you about a similar model of this Sentra?
Subbed, thank you man!
You’re welcome 👍
2007 Toyota Corolla s have the same code P0500. Vehicle speed transmission sensor.. I replaced it . The output one and it's still doing the same thing. Rev high like it's going in neutral when driving . What can I do ? If anyone know please let me know .. my speedometer still works
I have the same issue, I replaced the speed sensor but nothing happened. Were you able to solve the puzzle? Please share. Thank you

Correction: I left the speed sensor still in the car but unplugged the connector that connects to it.
@Eric....I did not have a blown fuse. The VSS wiring had broken (both wires) and was not connected to the VSS. Good luck !
Thanks....

Try the ABS sensor, will give the same P0500 code.
What kind of vehicle ? ..PO500 code is for a arctic cat ATV
what year make and model was this vehicle?
2004 Nissan Sentra
@@beachtroll8344 I have a 98 Toyota Tercel but can't find the speed sensor location on it and there doesn't seem to be a Haynes or Chilton manual for that year
I have a Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 automatic is the VSS in the same place as a Nissan Sentra my pathfinder is a 2004
Hi there,
I'm getting the P0500 code,
The odometer goes blank but otherwise, no issues driving, idling, etc.
Nothing seems wrong with it at all.
Any advice?
What year is your car? Did you get it fixed?
Wish you would have shown where this wire is
What's the location of this sensor?
It's on top of the transmission, close to the dashboard firewall. You can see it in the video.
Your soldering is awful 😞 man . Thank you 😊
😁😁 I know...I’ve never been good at it. Although it’s been over 2 years and it’s still holding.

bro that solder is a war crime

where is the speed sensor. dont make more videos
