Default Speed sensor w58?

I need a pic of the speed sensor plug/wire on the w58 trans. Searched, but nothing. I lifted the car I can't find it. Only wire I see is the one for the backup lights. Does the wire have multiple uses? I want my speedo to work. C'mon guys.

the yellow pin from the backup light splices into the yellow pin going to the speed sensor.

speed sensor is a gray 3 pins connector with the colors yellow, red, blue / red.

This is the wire I used for the backup lights. It's has two wires and neither of them are yellow.

the male end of that connector should have a yellow wire but then again there are model year differences.

Thanx a lot for the pic. So I'm guess that's a two wire plug that has a 3 plug, male connector. I'm surprised I havnt ran into how to wire up the speed sensor wire.

Also, that plug doesn't simply connect to another plug on the harness. I have to splice it in, correct?

Ok, this got my back up lights to work. Does this also supposed to make my speedo work? Or is there something else I need to splice?

it's the 3 prong sensor on the back of your trans, the plug shown 2 posts above is already hooked up to the harness no splicing needed. Just plug it and play. What are you talking about splicing??
