Default Where are the speed senors located?

On a '95 6cyl? Check engine light is on so I need to find these and see if they're unplugged, dirty or just need to be replaced.

Thanks

Try pulling off one of your front wheels, look around the brake rotor, front or back.. there should be something that looks like a round gear kinda(called a reluctor wheel sometimes) it will have a little deal pointing at the gear. it should have wires (2?) coming from it. It points at that reluctor wheel and monitors how fast the gaps in the teeth pass that sensor to determine your speed.
This is how it is on several cars I've worked on, so I assume its the basic way it is on a mustang too. i hope this helps.

Do you know which wheel it's likely to be located behind?

And the speed sensor controls the odometer, correct?
How would one clean the sensor(s)?

Thanks for the information
