Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the output speed sensor on this 2004 Chrysler Sebring. If the sensor is not working then usually your speedometer does not work at all. This is common for many Chryslers with this automatic transmission. You'll need a new sensor from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, and a one inch socket with a ratchet.
Your output speed sensor is down closer to the tire on the outside. There is a connector, you see pull back on the tab and disconnect. Use a one inch socket on a ratchet and get down in there. It's a little bit tight, but you can pretty much fit it right down in there, and turn it counterclockwise. Once you get the sensor coming out, you can usually grab it by hand, and spin it the rest of the way out.
The original sensor is on top, the new one from 1A Auto is on the bottom. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Remove the old O-ring if it stays behind. No real mystery here; thread your new sensor in place. Make sure it has the O-ring correctly installed on the sensor. Tighten it up by hand first, and then like the other one, tighten it. Get it seated and then tighten another eighth of a turn or so between 8 and 12 foot-pounds. Reconnect your connector. You can see with big hands like this you kind of have to plug it in by feel. We struggle with it a little bit, but then just get it into place and plug it in. Then we'll reinstall our air box and tighten up the clamp that holds the intake hose to the throttle body. Reconnect the hose, and reconnect any of the sensors you might have disconnected.
