Speed sensor? Where at?
 

Im trying to figure out where i can pull a signal from the speed sensor. From my reading cars with any combination of ABS, PS and CC have a a wire (red with green stripe? or visa versa)

now i dont have any of thoes, car didnt come with them. Can i still pull a signal from the back of the gauge cluster?

I have searched a few ways and have goten what little information i have from posts relateding to hooking up piggy back fuel computers and boost controlers

thanks in advance

Sounds like then you are down to TS the wires then.

The speed sensor is built into the dash cluster, picks up off of the speedo signal there.

On a 87 the sensor wire is Green/Red. This is a pulsed neg signal wire. Its normally about 1400 pulses/triggers per mile.

Also going into the power settering controller is the turn signal cancel switch (I am assuming that the signals work and turn off when the wheel returns back to center). These wires are Green/White (common), LtBlue/gray and Green.

Then you have engine speed input from the Yellow/LtBlue wire. This is what will trigger the beeps when you stall the car. This too is a pulsed neg trigger wire.

The Black/Green wire going into the power steering controller is the 12V Ignition signal. You know this is working or you wouldn't get the beeps.

Black is ground. The rest of the wires LtBlue/White, LtBlue/Black, LtBlue/Orange, LtBlue/Yellow, LtBlue, and LtBlue/red are all the signal wires to the stepping motor for the power steering. A bad connection either at the stepping motor or at the power steering control unit could cause the beeping. [/QUOTE] *******

Thanks a bunch, i was quite sure after searching but this being the forum and all, i though i would ask to be sure

what if your car doesnt have power steering? is there a speed sensor wire still?

The plug for the cruise control is there whether or not the car has a cruise control. Near the fuse box in the interior.

The combination meter has two round white plugs. One of the two has the green/red wire which is the ...........
