Speed sensor wire... location?

**shaun850** · Saturday 24th January 2009, 22:15

Hey

Just wondering if anybody knew where I can tap into the speed sensor wire on my 855 T5.

It's for connecting my sat nav stereo.

My car is pre '96 ie not obdII.

I guess there is one that goes to my dash clock's as they are not cable driven.

thanks in advance

you shouldnt need to connect to anything...if its a satnav then its done via satalite !

Its for my double din head unit... It needs the speed sensor wires for some other features also.

cheers

afaik the speed comes from one of your rear abs sensors.....

Hi Doon,

On my Maroon 850, remember when I had the gearbox done? Some gearboxes have the speed sensor attached to the underside of the box itself and is read that way, you might need to check it out, cos later models don't, mine was a 95 so I think it's 97 on that are different.

Just found this on a site as well:

850 Engine speed(rpm) sensor is located on rear of engine above the bellhousing:

Hope this helps mate.
