[s-cars] Dead Speedo

[Raphael Avila]

Guys-

Thanks for all the info, this is why the list rawks!  Anyway I have not
gotten under the car yet, but will do so tonight.

Calvin - FYI the cruise control was non-op with the dead speedo.

Tom - Looks to be the sensor as the HVAC check yielded no speed reading.

One more quick question, does this same speed sensor send a signal to the
odometer??  I drove the car into work today (42mi 1 way) and got nothing
added to my total mileage, 179K and counting.  Mebbe this is not such a bad
thing after all.....JOKE!

TIA,
Riff

'95 Dead speedo but getting younger as the miles go by......
