Default Where is the location of the speed sensor?

I have been searching all over and can't find anything! my speed sensor isn't working so it stopped marking my miles and speed...i need to replace it but i don't know which one it is or where to look for it? front back? right left? if you have drawing or pix would really help!...thank you!...

if it helps I've been having issues w my abs also, all lights are on and even when i turn the car off theres a buzzing sound coming from behind the steering wheel. i keep disconnecting my battery when i leave the car so it doesn't eat it all. I read it would fix this issue once i change the speed sensor also??

Should be 4 speed sensors.

That's how your ABS and TCS works.

Thanks so much for your quick answers guys...by any chance you have maybe any idea of which one might be that went out on my car?
my abs started making a buzzing sound after i turned the car off and so i started disconnecting the battery while i had it parked, then some ******* mechanic decided to just cut the cable till he figured out what was wrong with it, so i can keep driving it without having to disconnect the battery and then a week later my speed isn't showing and miles stopped counting...
i then read that the two issues might be fixed by me just replacing the speed sensor(and reconnecting that wire that was cut)...
so is this true? and is it easy to find out which sensor might be the one not working?

If you have a CEL on you should be able to pull the code and it will hopefully tell you the position.
