I heard a few of people who have been having problems with their MPH meter and a lot of times the problem is associated with a bad speed sensor. I am having the same problem because my MPH meter is telling me that I am going faster than I really am which can be an issue. After searching I haven't found one good diagram of the location of the speed sensor so I decided to post one up that I got from the dealership.

So yeah I hope this helps some else as much as it has helped me. I still need to get underneath and check out how to get the thing off but I heard that its just a bolt or screw that is relatively easy to get off. Any one know where to find a new speed sensor? Any good junk yards near socal?

The bolt is a pain because you have no room to get a socket on it, and a wrench will round it out if it slips. I drilled the bolt out and replaced it with an allen head bolt. you just give the sensor a little twist when pulling it out.
