What type of speed sensor do you need for a 1999 Ford Ranger?

A 1999 Ford Ranger uses a Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), also sometimes called a speed sensor. There are a couple of variations depending on the transmission type:

* For automatic transmissions: It's usually a sensor with a single wire, often located on the transmission case.

* For manual transmissions: It's typically located on the top of the transmission case and also usually has a single wire.

To be absolutely certain, you need to check your specific Ranger's specifications, either through your owner's manual or a parts catalog (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or Napa online) using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN will ensure you get the correct sensor for your truck's exact configuration. The location can also vary slightly depending on the trim and options.
