I have a 99 e-450 7.3 econoline super duty bus/motor home. The guy I bought it off said it would idle perfectly and drive, but when you get up past 35-40 it would start losing power. Eventually I had pedal to the floor and it was only going 5 mph, then cutting off. I dropped the tank and am replacing sending unit, and already replaced front fuel filter and icp sensor. Someone mentioned a speed sensor located on the transmission, and was wondering if the symptoms I mentioned could be the culprit for a bad Speed sensor? Great video, thank you for your help man. 🙏🏼
this is 3 years later but lol, I am replacing my speed sensor tomorrow. some symptoms were the D would blink, the engine and the ABS system light comes on every time I turn my car on. plus my car jerks and switches speeds. i’ll be going 45 (for example) and it’ll click back and forth between 45, 20, 1 etc. so my brother knew it was my speed sensor when my speed was inaccurate and braking in the middle of me accelerating.
I see several comments regarding where the location is. On most vehicles the "Output" is usually located on the tail end ( Rear), and the " input" is on the Front, if that helps anyone! Also symptoms can vary from, your spedo not working properly, hard shifting in low gears, and even feels like the engine is stumbling at first. When it get "Real Bad", your vehicle may take time to switch into 2and gear like the F 150 im working on right now does. This truck needs to hit 35-40 Klm/hr before it will change into the next gear. "You can" Start off in 1st gear untill you get your speed up,then let off the gas untill your tachometer comes back down, then throw it into drive and your good to go. Until you need to stop again or slow down under 35 klms. 🤪 I recommend you change it out A.S.A.P. you don't want to cause anymore transmission problems. I hope this helps atlest someone! Good Luck and Great Video!!! Thank you kindly Sir! 👍👍👍
Thank you for a well done video on this fix. I still have to fumble around some more to find mt sensor. What a pain. I guess with older trucks you must fix parts you won't normally do. You mention this to firestone. They want $100.00 to trouble shoot it plus part plus labor. I even gave them the code. 2001 Ford Ranger. P0715. If anybody needs it.
Question Sir, I had the same problem with my 2014 Ford Expedition. That sensor popped up on mine as well, but also the low air pressure was flashing off and on and the low fuel sensor was as well but the tank was full. Would that sensor these to flash as well.
great video, if this sensor is going bad or has a loose connection will it cause the engine to die? This happened momentarily to me the other day on the hwy just for a split second. Happened so fast the engine stayed engaged with the transmission jolted me pretty good though.
@@jimthecarguy it never threw a code. I noticed my battery terminals were really bad espically the positive side. Cleaned it good and hasn't happened since. Don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Yes I have a 2004 Mercury mountaineer and I cannot get that sensor out what kind of truck is that that you're taking that off it looks so easy what you doing but it's not that easy cuz I cannot get a socket up in there like you doing to get that screw out all to get that plug off like that please help me 😂👍
Hey on my 99 Chevy 1500 newer body style the speedometer and the rpm Gage also the odometer and message center don't work but I just replaced the dash cluster
My speedometer has been bouncing up and down occasionally since i got my current car, a 2007 Nissan Murano. I had the alternator replaced a few weeks ago after it died. I noticed the bouncing has gotten worse since, my cruise control light will start blinking once I start driving about 40+mph and ill be unable to use it. Not to mention it feels heavy like it doesn't want to move, i can get up to speed but very slowly most of the time. These could all be from the speed sensor?
Yes I have a 03 Lincoln Aviator I was driving down the road and noticed the engine light came on and then the whole download overdrive light started flashing and then over to the side and said check transmission being low on tranny fluid do that because you can't check the tranny fluid I don't know how to do that
My speedometer meter is going back and forth, after a while it started to lose power, then transmission wouldn't shift right, does that sound like the symptoms of a bad speedometer sir ?
Hello I'll have a 2002 Ford Taurus 3.0 L I was asking if you could be so kind and let me know where the transmission shift sensor is located on that transmission I can't seem to locate it nowhere

still nothing
it cranks but doesn't seem to get spark
the rpm needle moves when trying to start and the check engine light goes off when trying to start when you stop trying to start check engine light comes back on
only other thing I can think it is
is the pcm not being told to tell the spark plugs to spark
but don't have a way to know of I'm right before buying 1 of them
please help I dont know what else to look for
Unless someone in michigan that can come help
appreciate it
Or any ideal what else I should check
