usually on the firewall side. can reach from on top or underneath. do
you have the proper shop manual for this vehicle? if not, it's worth
investing in one. the official source is helm.com, but i'm not entirely
happy with them at present because they charged me full price for an
incomplete photocopy of a manual that was missing the wiring diagrams i
bought it for. they refused to give me a refund or take it back.

or you can go online at alldata.

you'll need this to confirm the testing process for the vss. usually
it's just a reed switch and you can see it click on and off with an ohm
meter as you rotate the diff.
