P0720 Output Shaft Speed Sensor circuit
thats the error code i pulled from my tuner after the check engine light came on. also got P0722 which means no signal from output shaft speed sensor
first off, WTF is it? where is it? and how much is it?
I haven't been able to talk to my father yet (my mechanic), so i'm in the dark right now. I just wanted some more info as i have never heard of it before.
Also, my speedometer no longer works. and the odometer will have dashes instead of mileage, intermitingly tho
I know i know--- i'd rather ask you guys first tho

double post
im actually having some trouble locating that part from auto zone/o'riely too. they both told me they never heard of it and don't have anything like that in stock. plus i can't find it online anywhere (yet)

most people that work at autozone (no offense to anyone, just a general statement from my experiences) and such are retarded at least around here. you'd be better off tryin the ford dealership or napa and calling it a vehicle speed sensor for the transmission.

yea i have to now, or just wait till tomorrow and call my mustang shop.
but i just thought of something tho: i have a speed cal on my car, could that be the coulprit? b/c my cig lighter no longer works either and i know when my speed cal was installed they hooked it up to the cig lighter (red wire)...im just speculating tho.
any thoughts livefast?

that could very well be the problem as the way i understand it the speed cal piggybacks the speed sensor to change the signal for whatever gears you have. so the pcm could be loosing the signal because of that. im sure the cig fuse is just blown.

well thats good news for me, cause i need to remove that speed cal anyways, as i have a tuner now. and u were right i found it on napa for about $26.00. Thanks for your help man!
1 more Q: will this be simple for me(+dad) to change ourselves? no moving the transmission or any b/s like that right?

well it sounds like the sensors probably ok. since your removing the speed cal just rewire it the way it was before you installed the speed cal and change the parameters in the tuner. if the speedo still doesn't work then you will most likely need a speed sensor which you should be able to tackle, should just be a 10mm bolt on the tailshaft holding it in the side and unplug it pull it out throw the new one in.
