check the wires off the sender on the back of the transfer, unplug and clean terminals, iff that dont fix it, it is the sender.

Absolutely agree with Dow5or. I have a 98 petrol and I've replaced the sensor twice! It's not cheap, either - over $400.00 if I remember correctly.

When I blew the first one, I decided that I'd do without a speedo for a while but I soon found out that it was also used as input to the engine computer and the thing started running rough, stalling and generally behaving badly. Replaced it and everything was fine.

Good luck
Mike

Best way is to try a good second hander
