I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in gauges (it involves both the vss and gauges). Moderator, please move this if necessary.
Just tried to swap in a gauge cluster with tach into a 2000 Ranger XLT 2.5 MT 4x2. Both older and newer speedometers were rising to about 35mph and then the needle would flutter. I read that the resistance for the VSS should top out at 1.4. My VSS topped out at 1.98. It was also cracked badly.
According to the write up in one of the tech sections the sensor is bad because of the reading.
Would swapping the clusters have killed the VSS (was working fine before swap)?
