So, my 1999 Ford Ranger has the ABS light on constantly. Today, the speedometer would drop to zero every now and then. Then while that was happening, it revved to 5K on a downshift! And then right during all that, the overdrive light started flashing. I stopped the truck, turned it off. Things were better, but the shifting was harsh and the speedometer kept dropping to zero now and then. No check engine was on. After getting back home, using a crude scan tool, code P0500 shows up, and still no check engine light on. The code reader manual says "Veh. Speed Sensor A Malfunction". Where exactly is this sensor and can I change it myself? Automatic transmission, 133,000 miles, 6 cylinder, 3.0 liter, 2-wheel drive. Any advise or help would be appreciated - thank you!
