Default Vss?

So I replaced my stock speedo with an autometer guage. My quesiton is, what should I do with the VSS that was attached to the rear of the stock speedo?

Here are a couple pics.

here is the actual piece (sensor?) that was attached to the back of the stock speedo



here is the control box that the sensor is connected to.

Wrap it up and stick it under the dash... That really isn't the VSS. The VSS is what is in the trans. That would just be what drives the stock speedo.

What do you need to do with it? That is the question. Do you just want it out of the way?

Sure you could unplug and remove the blue box if you do not need anything from it.

well that is what Im asking. I dont know exactly what this thing does. I assume it was important since the stock speedo had it. If it wont screw with anything (the computer) if I remove it, then why did the factory even put it there?

That is why I just said to tie it up. Maybe seal up the end with something, but leave it in. The end that you have in your hand in the pictures only went to the speedo. But I do not know what the box does in addition to that.

You could always unplug it and see what happens.
