Question Speed And Ref Sensor Help!!

Ok I set the bracket for the speed and ref sensors right and now I need to put in the sensors in the right location. I cannot find a bg or any marking like it anywhere around the sensors or connector. I also, on accident, disconnected the actual sensors from the 2 black connectors. How do these go back in there and is there 2 pieces not shown that hold the two together?

I don't totally understand your question. The bracket holds the two female ends and then the male ends just plug into them - you don't actually need the bracket for functionality, it's just there to hold them out of the way. Are you asking which male end meets which female end? Your picture is extremely fuzzy so I can't tell what you are looking at/asking :/

well my question is this... The two sensors have 3 connectors on each one of them. And then they plug into the two Black Connectors shown. Does it matter which order they go into the Black connector?? And also once I do that. How can I tell which sensor goes into where?? I see the markings on the bracket for the speed and ref sensors but I dont see any markings on the sensor or wires itself like clarks-garage says.

BG goes in the back (speed), DG goes in the front(reference). You have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. There is nothing on the female side that you can see, as far as a label goes? If the tach doesn't move (but you know you have the sensors SET right in the bracket - depth wise), then switch them - swap the plugs not the sensors.

That makes sense but does it matter how I put the 3 connectors into the plugs?? You can see the two connectors in the pictures, is there another piece that goes on the other side to hold it all in?

Just plug them in, if it doesnt start then you got it wrong and switch them.

The connectors are keyed, they only plug in one way.

Those 3 blurry metal things are the connectors from the speed sensor and its going in the black harness. Is there a piece that holds the two together so they dont come apart?? It looks like I missing two pieces or something
