I have a 2000 Plymouth Voyager.  The shift indicator lights stopped working, the speedometer also quit.

I read the fix it in the forum for the 1999 Dodge Caravan.  I have replaced both the input and output sensors on the transmission, Plus disconnected the the battery and then turned on the key to drain the electrical system.  Neither have worked the problem is still the same.  

Does anyone have any other suggestions.  I'm at a loss as how to fix the vehicle without taking it to the dealer.

Thanks

there should be like 5 connectors on the transmission...

the 2 speed sensors on the front.. connector on top of the valve body...   one on the
