The previous owner cut out the pigtail to the VSS on the transmission and the speedometer is inaccurate. I’m looking for a pinout diagram or a wiring diagram so that I can rewire it from where it’s getting power and ground to fix the speedometer issue.

Hello,
I have attached some diagrams as well as the input and output lines for the VSS on the transmission. I hope this helps. Please let us know how it turns out.

I believe that’s for a 4.0, the speed sensor isn’t in the same place as mine. Mine is closer to the drive shaft and also only 4 out of the 6 images loaded.

Hello, yes the diagram does mention a 4.0L option, however the wiring is correct for the 3.0L. Sorry about the photos, we were having site issues. I attached the input/output lines for the speed sensor below. Hope this helps!
