Turns out the wires on connector for the wiring harness to the "output speed sensor" had rusted. The wiring had been worked on previously.
The "outpiut speed sensor" is on the right side (passenger) on top of the axle. You can get to it from under the vehicle or thru the right fenderwell.
If you are going to buy one, have your VIN number with. The dealer will need it to get you the right part.
