Scan the vehicle for fault codes first. Sounds like you need to check the vehicle speed sensor signal into the speedometer. If that is ok then send the speedo head out for repair.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

I think you mean the Vehicle Speed Sensor(VSS).It is located on the transmission,somewhere on the portion of the housing that contains the differential and axles.Most speed sensors are a 2 wire unit,and often the wires are tightly twisted to reduce electromagnetic interference(this will probably help in identifying it)

alternator failure

the taurus were knowned for having bad transmissions it sounds like urs is bad

The vehicle speed sensor for a 99 taurus 3.0 2v, is located on the transaxel between the engine and firewall. At the center of the engine
compartment. Hope this helps.

try having the VSS (vehicle speed sensor ) replaced, this is where all the data for the powertrain control module (PCM), made mine shife perfect and made the speedo and cruise work better too

speed sensor needs replaced

try replacing you vehicle speed sensor these will go faulty and cause issues like this.
