where's that damn wheel speed sensor at?

 

There isnt one. there is only a tranny mounted speed sensor. its most likely the cable. to test it, pull the guage cluster out, and see if you caqn spin the end of it. it may be kinda hard. if you can get underneath the car, take the other end of the calbe out of the tranny, and spin it by hand, then see if it spins on the other side. if it does, then its your speedo assembly. the cable isnt too hard to change, and the speedo isnt bad either.

 

same thing happened to mine, the odometer and speedometer are both one unit if you take the whole thing apart, and there's a insanely small and hellaciously fragile spring that controls the needle...check to see if it snapped, worth a look see

 

I woulf first check cable since its the most common thing to happen.

 

can you use any year second gen's any model's speedo cable to replace or would you have to get the specific year and model's cable?

 

You can use any year FC and I think any year from an FB too.. although the FB is a little shorter.. it still fits into a N/A... not sure about turboII though.


Edit: Get the same cable for tranny type.. if you have Auto.. get auto cable, if you have MT get MT cable..

 

dont pull the cluster first, to much time, stick your head under the car on the driver side and look at the side of the tranny grab that black cable thats coming out of the side and going up to the firewall. give it a wigle and see if its tightly attached, mine came loose afew months ago all u gota do is screw it back in with your hands or a wrench.

 

Well i asked because my cable is broke and i wnated to know if i can go to the junkyard and get one for like 5$ and i got an 87 turbo II so i was hoping any model FC would work. But did you mean you wern't sure about FB cable's working on turbos or FC's too.. Thanks!
