Default Speedometer and Speed Sensore help needed!

The speedometer needle in my 2009 H3 is bouncing all over the place. I had this same thing happen in another vehicle I owned and ignored it as everything else was working properly. Eventually, the speedo needle became detached from the speedo and I had a real mess on my hands! The culprit turned out to be the speed sensor!

Well, deja vu!. Can someone please tell me where the speed sensor is for my H3? I want to get it replaced asap before my speedo breaks.

Thanks everyone!

Do I have to crawl underneath to reach it? Is it easy to get to? Do I have to remove the skid plate to access it? Is there a plug I have to disconnect? Thanks>

I would inspect wiring to the sensor thoroughly before replacing the sensor, more like to have a partial break in a wire than have the sensor go bad. Give the wires at the connector a firm pull and if they start to stretch you have an internal break in the wire. Check for chaffing in the harness as well.

I am not real good at figuring this kind of stuff out. Can you please be a little more discriptive where the speed sensor is? I really appreciate it!

Yes you need to get under it, there is a connector right on the sensor. shouldnt have to remove any skidplates, been awhile since ive seen one personally going by memory
