Where is the turbine shaft speed sensor on a 1996 Ford Ranger?

The 1996 Ford Ranger's turbine shaft speed sensor (also known as the Vehicle Speed Sensor or VSS) is located on the rear differential housing. It's a magnetic sensor that picks up pulses from a reluctor ring on the differential. You'll find it near the axle flange, but its exact position can vary slightly depending on the specific differential configuration. You'll likely need to get underneath the truck to locate it.
