1993 Ford F-250 7.3 IDI, non-turbo, E4OD
If the VSS (Vehicle Safety Switch) on the rear axle should fail to operate/work (say broken wire) so the speedometer will not work/show mph's, yet the tachometer still functions (probably not involved with the speedometer, but letting it be known), would/could this affect the E4OD transmission operation in any way?
Why do I ask: had VSS failure, tach registers fine, speedometer not registering, and E4OD shifted a bit different (light on the automatic transmission column shifter began blinking, indicating something not right with tranny) and until the truck would not move anymore (no tranny power) it was then i realized the tranny cooler had blown a hose/line and had lost all tranny fluid! YIKES
Could the VSS not working/registering have caused the cooler to blow a hose and dump the tranny fluid?
I'm nowhere near a major mechanic, though do some stuff, so asking in here for opinions.
thanks all for your time...
