Where is the Vehicle Speed Sensor located in 1994 El Dorado Cadillac?

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) on a 1994 Cadillac Eldorado is typically located on the transmission. However, there isn't one single definitive location as it depends on the specific transmission type (automatic or manual – the Eldorado was almost certainly automatic in '94) and even minor variations within those transmissions.

To find it, you'll likely need to:

* Consult a repair manual specific to your 1994 Cadillac Eldorado. This is the best resource, as it will show you diagrams and precise locations based on your car's VIN or transmission type. A Haynes or Chilton manual would be a good place to start.

* Look near the output shaft of the transmission. The VSS is often mounted on or near the transmission case, close to where the driveshaft connects.

* Inspect the wiring harness. Trace the wiring from the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) – often found under the dashboard or near the firewall. The wire leading to the VSS will help you locate the sensor itself.

Caution: Working under a car can be dangerous. Always use jack stands and chocks, and disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any work on the electrical system. If you are not comfortable working on your car, take it to a qualified mechanic.
