How to Find the VSS in a 1999 Windstar
- 1). Raise the hood of the Windstar. Loosen the negative cable from the battery with a wrench. Remove the cable from the battery.
- 2). Remove the wing nut securing the top of the air filter assembly. Lift the air filter cover off the assembly. Lift the air filter out and set it aside in a clean location.
- 3). Remove the mounting bolts from the air filter assembly with a wrench and lift the assembly out of place. Locate the vehicle speed sensor threaded into the top of the transmission straight down at the base of the engine compartment, below the mounting area for the air filter assembly.
