So my speedometer has been giving me problems for a month or more, it would work fine and then quit working, then start working. I've been procrastinating on it in case it wasn't the speed sensor, maybe something else like wiring. When I bought the jeep the PO had installed an inline speed compensation box instead of replacing the plastic gear for true speed. Anyhow, it finally went out and the engine light came on, pulled the code and got P0500, speed sensor or not getting a signal. My plan is to go through and check a few things prior to speed sensor replacement, maybe spend an hour or so just making sure all is well. I did the gauge test (hold down the trip button while turning the key) and the speedometer worked.
Changing the speed sensor, what is involved in that? I know where it is, just didn't know if I had to disassemble anything once it's removed or loose any fluid in the process. Anything I need to know when buying a new one? Installing? Type?
I'm going to remove the connector first and clean it up, read somewhere that they can have bad connections.
