There is a fuse under the dash that is in the circuit.

Do you think a fuse is causing the trans to not go in gear.

Dumb question but was there a gear on the end of the old VSS??? If so did you swap it over to your new VSS???

Check fuses 5 and 24 under the dash. If they're out no speedo.

would that make it act like the trans is bad

WHOA!!! Why would you replace a Crankshaft Position Sensor on the ENGINE if your problem is Vehicle Speed Sensor on the TRANSMISSION???
Here's some pictures to show you what we've been talking about. This is on a AX4S Trans, AX4N VSS stands straight up around the same location as AX4S...

Yes. There will be no cable, 1996-up Taurus got rid of the cable completely.
