I had issues with mine working, and then dying suddenly and it was in the factory plug that plugs into the vehicle speed sensor. I replaced the plug and all is well.

That is the cause the majority of the time. Or it is loose.

Is your VSS screwed right onto the trans or is there a 90 degree adapter fitting? Sounds like you are missing the adapter.
