Hey all,
so I was dropping my trans (04 se 2.3, auto) this weekend, and forgot to unplug the VSS from right above when the CV's join the tranny.
Needless to say now there are just two bare wires there... I am looking for someone who has one they can cut off and sell to me. Or if you know where to buy just the pins, I might be able to get it to work...
Called the Ford dealer in Hastings, and they don't list a part number for it. Said I had to buy the whole harness, F that
Thanks everyone

Call this guy, Al Ficker. He rebuilds focus's and has a personal focus grave yard in his yard (near you too in Hastings).
He can hook you up.
651-216-0899
Tell him Nils told you to call.

also, i'll bet ford does have the part, they just don't know it. When I needed a plug for something, the local ford dealer had this huge bundle of plugs, and you just had to match it. The new plug kit even came with clips to help reinforce the solder job

Thanks

I'm going to be stopping by Al's on the way home. He doesn't have any 2.3 autos, but I hope the 2.0 atoo uses the same vehicle speed sensor...
Thanks everyone for the input. God I love the internet

bring it in to Ford if the thing with Al doesn't work out. My alternator plug was broke when I got my car, but a new plug was like $10

OK, went to Al's last night, and I must say, this man is a focus expert! He had the part I was looking for, and one that I wasn't really looking for, lol. Great guy and great prices. I'm going to try and see if he can put me in an SVT...
Thanks all for the fast replies

He's the 'man' around here, for odd shit that is over priced from the dealer, or for parts you can't get anymore. I've been to him for parts probably a good 20 times in the last couple years I've known him. I think I may actually be running down there tommorow for some stuff...
