hi folks,
1998 escort se 2.0l sohc sedan auto trans
my speedometer quit a while back, check engine light came on and the code implies that the vehicle speed sensor has failed and i'd believe it because i tried two different speedometers. i've been using the tach and the flow of traffic to gauge my speed ok for now but i'd like to get this fixed eventually.
i've done a little research on this and i've heard conflicting things. some people say you need to lift the car to get to this, others say that you can get to it just by removing the battery and battery tray. my chiltons guide doesn't explicitly mention where it is or how to replace it.
can anyone tell me exactly where this is located, and how hard it is to get to? possible to do without jacking the car? what's the difficulty level? and how much should i expect to pay for the part - i've heard around $50?
thanks
