I work at a speedo shop here in Bakersfield, CA. Worked at LKQ for a year and a half before this. Going to start smogging cars here in a couple months!

Yeah, LKQ does have pretty high prices. If you know a rep they usually have a bit of wiggle room on some things, depending on how many days it has been in stock, what condition it is in, what yard it is in, and how the sales manager is feeling that day. I worked there for around a year and a...

Same here. Its one of the blend door actuators more than likely. The contacts get worn out in them, causing them to go on the fritz when they try to control the blend of hot and cold air at certain temperatures. There's another post on here somewhere detailing the repair and all. Located...

Howdy from Bakersfield, CA! I've got me a 2003 V8 Limited 2WD with ~77k. I am 24 years old, I work at a speedometer shop, I write and perform music at the local watering holes, and I have ONLY owned Toyota's. I am the second owner, and I have had this vehicle for about a year now. Needless...

Best of luck. Fingers crossed here as well!

If the odo is not counting and the speed is not functioning, that means they are operating but they are not being informed of any change.

have you tried re-installling the skid control ecu for the sole purpose of translating the signal from the VSS? I do not know of a way to bypass it, as it basically takes the language the sensor speaks and translates it to the language that the cluster understands. Due to the fact that the...

Hmm. Well if you had it all unplugged and it was still functioning, it was probably running off of the sensor in the transfer case. Is the ODO not displaying anything or just not counting? Do you have cruise control and is it operating?

For the automatic transmission equipped vehicles, the wheel speed sensors input wheel speed to the skid control unit for the ABS. The skid control unit gets a reference voltage from the speedometer in the combination meter (instrument cluster) and the skid control ECU pulses the signal to ground...
