As far as your speedometer issue goes, I do believe you have an
electronic VSS (vehicle speed sensor) instead of a cable VSS. These
run anywhere from $15-$100+ depending where you shop around. You
should check with your Helm's manual and troubleshoot it yourself (if
you can change your oil, then you can check if your VSS is bad). Other
than that, what the others have said about the "S" light is right on
the money. Hope this helps.
