Please help, Ive been searching everywhere and cant find the location of the VSS wire for my car. Its a 2007 Ford Freestyle SEL (not freestar). Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank You

I haven't been able to find one, either, but check for a grey wire with a black stripe in the radio harness, I believe that the Freestyle has a speed-control volume feature.

i cant find that wire,the only wire of those colors is for a speaker.my factory radio did have the auto volume, is there a way to test for the wire? do you know which of the 2 radio pins it would be in. There is a large one that holds the speaker wires and power and a smaller one that is not used for anything currently. the system is up and running just no VSS right now and the unit is suffering a few accuracy issues.

It may be in the smaller harness.

That gray/black shouldn't be a speaker wire, Ford usually doesn't use that color for a speaker wire. That should be your VSS. Do you have the factory rear entertainment package?

The smaller harness is either for the factory sub or if the vehicle has any sort of rear seat entertainment.

No rear audio, the grey and black wire goes to a speaker, i bought the direct connect harness,all the speakers work great,the small harness may be the steering wheel controls? any other ideas on the VSS?
