Scratching my head a bit.
The other day my speedo died and CEL/VSS lights went on. Pulled the code, P0500, easy peasy to replace the VSS on the transfer case.
Here's where it's weird- the speedo isn't completely dead- it'll bounce to life here and there, get stuck at a certain speed, die all the way, repeat. It's not a quick cycle, this all happens through the course of a day. When I replaced the VSS, the speedometer worked again as soon as I started driving. Now it's dead again. Tach works, cruise does not.
I've evidently lost all of my fuse pullers and needle-noses, so I'll pick some up today to check the driver's footwell fuses. I'm also going to disconnect my yellow box to rule that out. Besides that, what else should I be testing to find the problem? When searching, I found there is a second VSS on the transmission- what can I do to test that? Is it the same part as the transfer case sensor? A few months back I lost speedo and tach due to a faulty cluster connection. That was an easy enough fix and I'd do it again, but I didn't have the idiot lights on the dash from it so I'm thinking this may just be a coincidence/separate issue?
