Speedometer acting really weird! Please help
So I bought a 2000 S281 about two weeks ago, and have absolutely fallen in love with the thing. Everything had been running perfectly until this morning
I started driving out of my neighborhood and was cruising at what I thought was a steady 25mph, until I looked down at the speedometer and it is showing that I'm going 180mph. I have no clue what is happening, it seems like the speedometer is multiplying 6x what my actual speed is. I thought maybe the speed sensor that's located in the back of the transmission, but I replaced that and no change. Someone please help! This car is beautiful and I'm so sad I can't drive it. |

So I figured the issue out.
It ended up being a bad connection to the Dallas mustang speed calibrator that I found after tracing the cable from the speed sensor (oss) from the transmission to the pcm. Whoever installed it used a solderless quick splice snap wire connector to tie into the cigarette outlet. I'm pretty sure I may have spun the cigarette outlet when I was trying to charge my phone, which broke the connection to the speed calibrator. The car is new to me, and the guy I bought the car from didn't have it for too long, so he didn't know if someone had changed the gear ratio. Oh well, hope this can help someone out someday. |

Thanks Swift for the post. Very important I think. Let us know how the re-wire goes and if all is well.
