My husband attempted to switch out the Vehicle speed sensor and when looking at the part there is no connector. Can anyone tell me where the connector will connect to? One end of course would be the sensor, but how about the other end?

The other end goes into the engine main wiring harness and ends up at the PCM. Here is how to change the VSS out and its location in the images below. Can you upload a picture of what you are seeing? Also, does this car have a manual transmission (clutch pedal)? Here are what they show for the sensor. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
