Hi I have a 97 Ford Ranger 4x4 4.0L V6, My speedometer and odometer are not working. I replaced my vehicle speed sensor in the transmission and the gear that goes on it. My speedometer is still not working, along with my odometer. I have another speed sensor in my rear diff that i have not replaced. My question may sound stupid but i've never worked on speed sensors before, What is the purpose of the 2 sensors (obviously the speed and odometer) but why 2 sensors and do they work together? and if so how can i tell if the one in the rear diff is bad?

Thank you. :dunno:

Do you have any ABS codes? The rear axle speed sensor is used for the ABS.
 
ah ok so the rear diff sensor has nothing to do with my speed and odometer? because i got bigger problems than my abs sensor right now lol, and no i don't have any abs codes.
