alright so....ever since I bought my car a year ago......the speedometer wouldnt budge at cold then once the car warmed up, it would wobble inaccurately........So then about 8 months later.....I get a code 24 and realized it's time to change my VSS. So I went to autozone....they gave me the wrong one and I couldn't drive my car for 2 days until they ordered a new one......2 days later they order the wrong part AGAIN....so finally I just went to Murray's and got the right one. I came home, slapped it on, and my speedo was perfect......for about 2 miles. After that it just stopped completely. I was like wtf so I thought they gave me a bad part.....I took it back...got a new one and installed it.....worked for 2 miles again..then died. so for the last 2 months.....i've been driving without a speedometer, and a very often code 24. Any idea's on what to do, or what damage this could be causing me? Thanks guys

 

If the speedo isn't working, neither is the VSS. Even if the VSS is brand new, it will still throw a code 24 if there's no speedo. This may sound like a silly question, but have you checked and/or replaced the speedo cable?

 

ya know...I haven't lol....but 1) is an l03 cable-operated? 2) would a bad cable cause a code 24? Thanks!

 

Thanks.

I also forgot to mention that my SES code 24 only comes on after going fast on the highway for a while, then when I de-accelerate, it goes on. If this gives any more incite as to my problem, I'd appreciate info. Thanks!
