ok I replaced my battery today and cleaned connections to terninals including the metal multiconnector things. Now reads 12.4 V after 1 min of lights and alternator puts out 14.5-14.5 volts with the car running.

Still no spedo/odometer and I noticed the gas gauge does not change untill the spedo starts working again. However on the way back from replacing the battery it didn't work at first then it worked for about a mile then quit on me again. The check engin light is not on but I will scan for codes tomorrow.

Does this sound like the VSS? Of course it could not be as easy as a battery for me.
