The speed sensor has a two wire connector. There is also a vacuum switch on top of the transfer case,it is inboard of the front driveshaft yoke on top of the case. Good luck.

I'm not real sure on the electronics of these things, but I think the speed sensor inputs to the computer to operate the speedometer, the shift sequence and the top speed limiter. The vacuum switch operates the shift motor on the right front axle housing. I believe the shift motor locks the front axle while in Four Wheel Low. Mine does not have it. The Haynes manual doesn't give much info on this stuff. Maybe a Chrysler service manual would give more info. Dan
