2G Yanked speedometer cable connector from transmission. How to rewire?

[ThomasGSX]

Ok. So, I was going to change my vehicle speed sensor, and I did not realize that the connector on top had a clip on it. So accidentally yanked all three cables out of the harness... Looking at the connector I see a problem... All three cables are the same identical color which is a lime green. Is there any way to orient the wires, or is the only way to do this swap the wires around until I find the correct order?

See if this helps.

You say there all the same color?
Try cleaning them up and striping up the harness a bit to see if it was recently rewired.

Use the position of the wires in this picture: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84901&d=1214800474.

Use a multimeter on the harnes side to determine which are yours. The black should have continuity (connects directly) to ground. The black-white should have +12v with key on. The yellow then goes to the speedo and data link connector pin 14 (OBDII - On-Board Diagnostic's System - Does My Car Have OBD-II? The Connector and Communications.).

Yeah, all three wires are green, there is no black or yellow. I actually can make out which one went in the middle, so that will narrow it down to only 2 possibilities. put the other two on and if they dont work, swap them. Thank you for your quick responses. Also, I am not 100% on this, but the vss I am putting in, came from a 95 galant. This should be the same part, right?

OK, so this is making me mad now, I put in a new speed sensor, and tested every combination of the three wires there is, and the speedometer and odometer still do not work. I have decided that I want to replace all new wires from the speedometer to the gauge. does any body have any advice or information on how to do this properly? I do have cruise control, As far as I know it routes like this:

VSS------------ECU--------------Gauge Cluster
...........l
...........l
...........l
...........l
...Cruise Control
.........Motor


Does this seem correct? or is there more to it?
