topcat: If it looks exactly like the one you pulled out, then it is probably the right one. Does it look like the one on this web page, the second one from the top? And costs $32.90?

  And say it is a Santa Fe Vehicle Speed Sensor Sonata Sedona Kia Amanti? If so it is the VSS that you need.

Didn't know yours was a 4WD, so they could be located in different spots. But if it looks like the picture then it is it. The other sensors look different than that one. ">

Topcat: Does the one you pulled out have a gear and a shaft coming out of it?? If so it is probably the right one.

Finally found the right sensor. After seeing it I felt like a fool for not seeing it before. However I ran into trouble getting it out. It was so stuck it was almost like it was welded into the shaft hole.. I had to take it out in pieces. Hope I never have to change another. The teeth were broken so it couldn't have been spinning so the Hyundai dealership couldn't have tested it because they told me it was the speedometer cluster that was bad. Spent 300 dollars that was unnessary. Anyway thanks a lot for your help

So I take it you had to replace the gear also? If so, where did you get the gear, at the Hyundai dealership? I bought one, but mine was good so I really didn't need the new one, but replaced it anyway.

Another question topcat, did you take it out from the bottom of the car or come down from the top?

Can you tell me if the vss speedometor sensor also controls the radio,gas gauge, fan for the air cond and speedometor? I am having problems with all of these things. The hyundai service center is saying I have to spend $99. to do a diagnostic test to find out.

No as far as I know it controls the speedometer only. Not all of those other things. You sound like you have some strange electrical problem. But it wouldn't be the Vehicle Speed Sensor.

Thank you, At first it was the gas gauge going to empty. Then the radio started going on by itself. Then the fan, had to play with it a little before it would turn on. Now the speedometor goes to zero at times.
I guess I have to bring it to hyundai for a test. Hate doing that.

Do you happen to know what might be the cause for several things happening all of a sudden. Gas gauge going to empty, radio coming on by it self, speedometor going to zero at times and fan acting up?
I thought it might be the vss sensor but that controls the speedometor right? I may just have to bring it to hyundai for a diagnostic test.
Sorry if this is a duplicate post not sure about this site.

to Topcat or any else that might know.
My issue is with the speedometor, radio,fan and gas gauge. All are acting up. Is there a sensor for all of them? Thanks
