I have a 97 Ply Gr Voyager. I need to change the speed sensor on the passenger side front. How do I remove the sensor where it goes through the fender to the connecting plug in the engine compartment?
Thanks
Mario

I figured it out as soon as I took the wheel off today. Last night I was changing the connector to the resistor block for the heater/AC fan. The connector corroded at the terminals causing the blower to only have high speed. I changed the resistor block and the connector going to it. To properly have enough room the solder the connector in the harness I had to undue the right front wheel ABS speed sensor connector, then I could pull the harness out so I could work on it.
:dunno: Not knowing how this is supposed to be done, after soldering the connector and trying to push the speed sensor connector back on I found it would not go in. Looking into it from the top, bending it towards you showed 1 of the 2 pins bent over. :22yikes:
Well I figured that was the end of a perfectly good speed sensor and this morning I called a few auto supply shops in the area and they said it was a dealer item. So I go to the dealer and they can have it as soon as Monday so I order and pay for it. :eek7:
I then came home and removed the tire and saw the bracket holding the sensor. Unbolt that bracket (10mm) and you can work the grommet that holds the connector down and out. Then I stuck a coat hanger through the hole and taped the connector to it from the harness and routed and the wires and pulled the connector through the hole. I started looking at the speed sensor and it looked like I could straighten the pins with a very small pair of pliers. I straigtened out the pin and connected it easily to the harness connector. :cheers:
Then I reinstalled the speed sensor up into the hole and retained it with the bolted bracket. Works fine, now I have a spare speed sensor.
Hope this may help. Happy motoring!

I have a '99 Grand Voyager 3.3 v6 and 2 days ago my speedometer it stoped working, stuck. You think it's the SPEED SENSOR?
How it looks like and were it is located? How hard it is to change it in my own ?
Thank you,
Gabriel

:smokin: Gabriel, the speed sensor I was referring to is for the ABS brake system, the ABS speed sensors have nothing to do with the speedometer as far as I know. Sorry can't help you with answers to your questions, Good Luck!
