Replaced VSS, but speedo still not working

[JohnFrisco]

My 96 GXE had a code for bad Speed Sensor.

All of these things stopped working sporadically and then would work again speedo/odometer and the cruise control.

I replaced the VSS and everything worked for 25 miles then everything stopped again. The engine light has not come on.

If I hold in the tripometer, everything works, but only while I hold it in.

Do you think my speedometer is bad?

Thanks!

John

No check eng light is progress. Does the light still come on for a few seconds when you turn the ign switch to the first position? Resetting the trip meter doesn't have anything to do with electricity. Maybe the slight pressure on the panel makes a better electrical connection, possibly inside the instrument panel.
