vengeful Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Well...if your VSS is bad, then your speedometer wont work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmd0311 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 That happened to me once and it was my alternator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I dont know WHATS bad, I just know that I'm driving down a highway and cruise control is on, and the engine keeps running then slowing down, running, slowing down, as if I were slightly hitting the gas then letting go... then the speedometer goes &^%*@$# crazy... WHY ME? What the hell is going on and how can I fix this bull@!*%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max_stryker Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 first off, dont use cc if u have a speedo isnt working. it will not function properly most likely culprit as dan stated is the vss. perhaps since it works intermitantly, it could be a loose wire or harness, theres alot of wires that can be fouled up from behind your cluster all the way to your tcase where the vss is located.

SaKaNa Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 CC was going bad earlier today... the speedometer died after I tried using CC while it was messed up, then I just had to go whatever I thought was the speed limit and keep my radar detector turned up. I still have the tachometer, so I can base my speed on that, but this is retarded. I live on a huge hill, and yesterday there was a TON of water coming down it from that storm, and I had to back up in it a good distance... the splash guard thing tore off of some bolts, and the speedometer / cruise doesnt work any more... think the two situations are somehow related?

max_stryker Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Mostly likely no. Unless you fully submerged your transfer case into water for an extended period of time thus soaking your vss into a non working state. The speedo dying and cc not working are pretty much related since the car bases the speed for cc off the speedo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
