Car is a 96 Contour 2L auto.

While driving at highway speed the speedometer dropped to zero the transmission down shifted into 3rd gear and the Overdrive indicator began flashing.

Though is that speed sensor died and trans went into limp mode.

Disconnected and reconnected battery and tried driving. No speedometer movement and trans still in limp mode.

Were not sure what controls the speedometer, there's a electro-mechanical sensor on the transaxle, but the book says something about a speed sensor in the dash.

What's the best way to troubleshoot this without having a scan tool.

Thanks, Pete
