dont just change it, i had the same problem, check the connections first, i just had a bad ground, so i found a new one... alll set... also make sure your getting power and the likes.
VSS is grounded at G301 left side of the car, next to the washer fill thing, not to bad to get to.

Go into the electrical section, and there are flow charts for checking out things like the VSS, bust out the multi meter and test ground and power. This link will also tell you where your VSS is grounded (G301) and give you a diagram of where that is on your car (ground locations), also you can check the ground distributions for said ground, IE what else is grounded there (its pretty much the whole left hand side of the car; signals, windshield wiper motor, and washer… etc etc)… sometimes wires like to pop out of the ground though.. That was my problem... And why I cleaned my windshield with a bottle of water I always kept handy.Comment

Nevermind i found it. How did you replace it?Comment

do you need to? does the VSS plugs ground make a closed circuit with negative on the battery?Comment

that little metal part in the top wasent in all the way, so i didnt have washer motor or VSS for a while.. i didnt have a worth wild shop manual before so i just ran a new ground for the VSS... and had a really dirty windshield...
