The "plug under glove compartment" is the white plug next to the ECU plug. This plug has:

- thermal transmitter (for coolant gauge) from engine to this plug to dash plug and to coolant gauge

- tach signal from ECU to dash plug and to tach

- converted VSS signal FROM the speedo to the ECU.

The 2 VSS wires go from the lower harness to the BODY harness, around the body and then to the speedo. The speedo displays the speed and converts this alternating current into a digital signal and sends that converted signal to the ECU.

The wire under the dash does nothing for the speedo, and actually does not need to be hooked up to the ECU.


We discuss this at least once a week. Open an FSM or learn by searching. Either way, stop talking smack and learn.
