First checked the fuse for the dash, Fuse was good.
With the roads being crap, we put some jack stands under the rear axel to be able to test speed.

Hooked up a scanner, and was getting intermittent speed reading. Took out the VSS, it appeared to be ok.
Bench tested it with a drill and multi meter and was getting good voltage.
Installed the VSS, then bypassed the speed cal, and bango, the speedometer was working!

Need to road test it with the speed cal bypassed and test the cruise control.
The speed cal had a bit of a burnt smell to it.
It also had constant power run to it, instead of having power from an ignition source.
Cut out all the old wiring, and will hook it up proper.

May need a new speed cal.

Also, priced out a new VSS from Ford (not Ed), $167 + tax! Holy crap.
