The wires to my camshaft position sensor were melted and torn. There is a bare wire I believe is ground but I have no clue. If I can get the wiring diagram for that area it be great.

The gray wire with an orange tracer is the VRSTRN (variable reluctance sensor - GROUND).

CID 1 and 2 refer to the signal that the sensor transmits to the powertrain control module (PCM) to identify which cylinder is currently at the top of the firing cycle. This allows for precise fuel injection timing based on the engine's firing order.

I attached the wiring schematic below for you. Take a look at it and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe

2008 ford fusion SE 3.0 6cyl. My son passed and I'm trying to get his car going but I ran into this mess for the crankshaft position sensor, and I believe the power steering sensor the wiring was cut really short and it's obviously a mess. It's difficult to start and when it does it's not sounding good and if you step on the gas pedal it shuts you off. What I'm trying to do is obviously rewire it and find out where that one wire that's totally bare goes; I have no clue anything would help. Thank you Sir.
