Ok here we go two weeks ago popped the hood and with a text to CBetts (thanks a plenty). Found out the radiator ruptured did the whole 9 yards on it new radiator fabricated an external cooler but now my sensors are creating a christmas tree on my dash first was the speed sensor on top of the tcase switched it out but now have low voltage on all solenoids.
My questions is if i changed out that speed sensor will it cause the other sensors in the same circuit to receive different readings?

Thanks is advance.

I'm not an engineer but I can't see how that speed sensor would cause the failures you are describing. It seems you might want to check power sources first - battery, alternator, etc. and make sure those are producing the proper power consistently. I would suspect an alternator failure before I'd suspect a speed sensor in the transfer case, especially given the proximity of the alternator to the radiator.

Was this the whole radiator trans cooler failure or just the coolant leak? If the fluids mixed you've got transmission problems also, when it happened on mine the trans needed to be rebuilt.

It was a complete radiator failure. Been troubleshooting as best I can. @ Alrock yep tested battery and alternator every connection is solid and read true funny thing now is i dont think its the sensors at all fuse 34 trans fuse blows win ignition is turn not started just turned went through 3 fuses for fun. Theres a short and i loathe eletrical like politicians. @ Cbetts your second opinion counts more than u know no other h3 owners or h2 pwners down here wheel heck if you drive on 22's with chrome an low profile my's I laugh and give you the finger.

Checked pnp fuse box laying on top of the motor following all cables down and then back up. Low voltage on all trans sensors guess its be safe drop the money on the rebuild i rather dig dirt with confidence then worry i'm a decent wrencher but damn this ones out of my scope.
